Hello Dragon Band Students, Parents and Families,
We’ve had another strong week of classes and that’s good because there aren’t many rehearsals until our February 12th concert! Students should be practicing their instruments at home.
We talked in classes this weeks about YAC - Young Artists Competition. We’d like for as many students to participate as possible!

Next Week in Band Classes

Students in band classes those three days need to bring homework and study materials they can do on their own
