 As we celebrate arts in our schools, our choir, orchestra and band programs are participating in their state assessement. Wish them good luck.
Our Symphonic Band had the incredible opportunity to work with Brian Balmages, the composer of the piece, Heart of Gold. His visit was an inspiring experience for our musicians as they learned firsthand from the composer himself. The students were very excited to meet him and he was gracious enough to stay around after class and autograph their music.
Developing a Strong Academic Foundation, Curiosity, and Joy for Learning
