We were thrilled to have finally brought our 5th grade beginning band program into the school day starting with the 2019-2020 school year!
This is just one exciting step toward our larger vision of sustainable music education in our district. In our pursuit of jumpstarting this program, we are asking for the help and support of our community and networks in completing our fundraising for the incredible gift of providing band instruments for all beginning students, as we must provide every interested student the necessary tools to participate.
