Concert Ensembles (Concert Band, Symphony Band, Wind Ensemble) SCHS Bands are headed to Orlando, FL! Registrations are still being taken! Students who register at this point are being added to a waitlist. As soon as we hit 80 people, a second bus will be added and all those on the waitlist will be cleared to travel. We still need at least 2 more chaperones to register for the trip to travel. We need 21 total people (5 chaperones/16 students) for the waitlist to clear.
