This Week in Band: 3/4/24

Good Evening, Ram Band Family,

There is little new info to report this week. I want to remind everyone of the itineraries for this week’s MPA events and reemphasize the importance of student attendance. Terry Pattishall, the original Lake Mary Band Director, worked with our students this week. One of the concepts she mentioned to them was how difficult it is to adjust how one plays when there are missing people or parts. What I love about band is that ABSOLUTELY EVERYONE is needed!

Also, we will need a couple of chaperones for each of these events. Be on the lookout for a sign-up link. Finally, we would like to have some nice photos of these events. It would be greatly appreciated if anyone is available to document these events!
