HIGH SCHOOL BAND AUDITIONS
High School Band Auditions are coming up very soon! We will have three more after school practices on Mondays: March 31, April 7, and April 14 from 3:15-4:30 to help you prepare. There is no after school practice today.
As a reminder, all 8th grade band students are required to audition for high school band. Whether or not you ultimately continue is your choice, however you must participate in the audition process. If you are still unsure of which high school you are attending next year, plan to audition for both Huron and Pioneer to cover your bases. If anyone has decided to go to Skyline next year, please email Ms. Stout for audition information.
