Books for Band

My Project

This year we hope to have another successful school year in band. Our students are always excited to start. Once the school year begins students will start picking their instruments. At this point all they will need is to have the books. This project will enable our current 4th graders to start the school year with everything they need.

Band is always a great experience and the students get to participate in community activities that will enable them to go on trips and practice playing in front of different groups of people.
