... And that's a wrap on our historic Spring MB season! Many thanks to all who helped us make our Spring Season into a truly historic and memorable one. The Fall season kicks off quickly this week as we hold interviews for student leadership positions and look ahead to mini camp, as well as see Graduation coming up quick! Here's what's happening in the band room this week and beyond... ALL school owned instruments (not already checked out for summer) & concert uniforms are due immediately after Graduation on Saturday, June 12th. Students, it is YOUR JOB to ensure ALL YOUR school owned equipment is returned to the band room at SCHS immediately after graduation regardless of if you are taking the bus or not. If you are a senior/not planning to return to SCHS after the event, it is still your responsibility to make sure your equipment gets back to SCHS. Plan accordingly. If you're planning to wear your concert blacks for Graduation, be sure to bring a change of clothes to turn in your concert blacks at 3:30pm on Saturday, June 12th. NO EXCEPTIONS.
