Reminder of High School Upcoming Dates and Future Summer Dates

With another set of successful festival performances now behind us, we wanted to take a moment to send a reminder of high school band dates for this upcoming summer.  These are the same dates as we published at the beginning of the year.  Drumline, in particular, begins earlier than the full band and is a necessary part of having a successful start.

If your student is beginning drivers training this summer, please keep our dates in mind because they do not tend to be flexible.
