Assembly! !

Congratulations to our wrestling team on the their 2nd place finish at state!

All the Jr/Sr band members will be playing music for a recognition assembly at South and Central Campus on Monday (Feb 28)!

At 8:05 am the Jr/Sr band members will be reporting directly to the band room to load a bus to go to South. After the assembly at South, we will be returning to Central campus to play for the second assembly. Jr/Sr band members will be missing all of first hour and a portion of second hour.

Students are not required to wear orange t-shirts. Jr/Sr. band students who need to be in class first hour for an important test, project, or presentation will be excused from playing the assembly at South.

Fr/So band members will have the option to play with the Jr/Sr pep band at South, if you have your band instrument with you. (fr/so band instruments will NOT be brought to South for you)
