It takes a village to make our inclusive 5th - 12th grade bands run! Thank you to all of our parents who helped feed our kids on the first day, get our high schoolers measured and fitted into uniforms, helped our 5th graders so they can select the instrument of their choice, and who created a community event that kicked off our band year in style!
A special shout out to:
the hot dog lunch team leads Cat Martin, Leslie Kinder, Gloria Wolfe, and Michael Lill for organizing us so we can feed our kids on the first day of band camp,
the uniform team leads Jennifer Selby, Gloria Wolfe, Diana Lien, and Claudia Harner-Jay for helping us get our kids into uniforms,
the Bandcamp Barbecue leads Eunyoung Kim, Leslie Kinder, and Janet Smith for creating a flavorful and fun event for us to kick off the new band school year,
our Bandcamp Barbecue sponsors, the Cohen-Sanford family (dunk tank), Porteous family (dessert), the Sun-Ha family (grill), the Glick family (grill), and the Geer family (grill), and
