8th Grade Jazz Band 

The 8th grade jazz band has started rehearsing this semester. We meet 7th hour everyday for about 45 minutes. The students are given the opportunity to play secondary instruments and will begin to learn the jazz language and will give a concert in the spring. 

The High School Symphonic Bands earned straight "1" ratings from all judges (including sight-reading) at the State Festival on Wednesday. The High School Concert Band earned an "Excellent 2" rating. Thank you to all students for your dedication and for sharing your musicianship with so many. Also thank you to Mr. Lovell and Mr. Cordray for your hard work and dedication to the students!!

I am so proud of you all!!
--Mrs. Rogers
