Week 24 of School – 2/17/20 – 2/21/20 – Spring Pep Rally
The Charger Band had a fantastic wrap up to the week with a couple of prestigious performances. Congratulations to Zoe Gurwitz for an AMAZING All-State Symphonic Band Concert. This once in a life time opportunity to perform at the TMEA Centennial celebration under the baton of Frank Ticheli was inspiring to see. Way to go! Congratulations to the Wind Ensemble for representing our program as the demonstration group for Mr. Travis Cross at his four part series clinic on conducting. The students played incredibly well and all was well received. Great job band!
Thank you to those that came out to Chipotle Night! We have extended our mulch fundraiser to this Friday. GET THE WORD OUT and purchase online on our website. Thank you to those who have volunteered for concessions this past week and those that volunteered with booth set up and tear down at TMEA. All of this helps so much!
