Band Booster Mtg: There will be no Band Booster Mtg on Tuesday, March 2nd. Spring break & the Boston trip will make meeting in April difficult. Therefore, we're combining the March & April meetings. The next Band Booster Meeting will be Tuesday, March 30th at 6:30 p.m. in the Band Room. Hope to see you there.
