5th-12th Grade Band Concert on December 11th @ 7pm. See info below:
The concert begins at 7pm in the high school gym, but students should meet in the band room at 6:30 to get ready. Please have students wear something nice. The concert will probably be less than an hour and after the last group they are free to go.
Elementary band students will bring their instruments over to the high school that day and leave them in the band room so everyone has theirs ready to go. We will return them to the elementary the next day or you can take them home that evening.
If you have any questions please feel free to contact me (rarnold@laplata.k12.mo.us)!
