Happy New Year! I hope everyone was able to spend some time with their families and take a bit of a break from the year that was 2020.  Last year was beyond difficult for everyone, especially our Band kids. It has taught us patience and tested our resiliency.  We are Band People, so there is no doubt we will come back stronger than ever this year.  We are working on some exciting plans for 2021 that we hope to announce in the coming months. Everyone stay safe and we hope to see you soon!
