Attention all rising 7th and 8th Grade Parents!

We will be having our annual band camp in August! This is only for students who have completed at least 1 year of beginner band.

Date: August 3-5
Time: 8 a.m. - 11:30 a.m.
Location: Dahlstrom MS

This is completely free and a great way to get an early start on fundamentals and music for the upcoming school year. Please check your emails for more information.

Don’t forget to signup for the Summer Band SportsYou group. 🙂

Please email Mr. Lira if you have any questions.

Go Tiger Band!

Happy National Band Director’s Day to the people who do far more than teach music.
Thank you for the early mornings, late nights, long bus rides, endless rehearsals, and the constant belief you pour into your students every single day. Band directors teach discipline, confidence, resilience, and heart; often without recognition, but never without impact.

Years from now, students may not remember every performance, but they will remember the people who believed in them and gave them a place to belong.
Thank you for changing lives through music.
