First Performance!

band

Meet the Teacher/Hillcrest Fall Open House   BANDS are PLAYING!!

Wednesday Sept 20

Massed Band (the combination of Junior and Senior Bands together) will perform at Meet the Teacher Night this coming Wednesday, September 20.  We understand that it's early in the year and that we have some musicians that are brand new to their instruments, but we are so proud of all of them.  We want to hear you whether you can play 5 pieces or 1 note - the last rehearsal sounded great and we Still have Wednesday morning to work on our set. 


Students should arrive by 5 p.m. and will be done by 6 p.m.  Please do your best to meet the band dress code of Black and Black (we get that it's early in the year!!).  Let Ms. Hunter know if you have questions!
