To all of our students, but especially our 8th graders:

THANK YOU for the time you’ve invested into this program for the past three years. We’re sorry we didn’t get a chance to say ‘goodbye’, but go forth boldly into High School knowing we’re behind you!

Take the lessons you’ve learned and apply them to everything you do!

Best wishes! We’ll see you at Band Fest. 😉
