JA CONCERT BAND


Congratulations to the JA Band for completing another all-superior year, with I ratings from all judges in all captions at the MAIS Concert Band Festival on Friday here at JA.


The band's performance was enthusiastically received by the audience and judges David Willson (Ole Miss), Elva Kaye Lance (MSU), and Mohamad Schuman (USM), who had many positive comments.


Thank you to the Band Boosters for providing lunch for the students on Friday. Special thanks to Kate Bowman for taking time from her day to pick up and deliver lunches for the judges and helpers at the Festival.


The Concert Band will now spend class time preparing for the Spring Concert on Tuesday, May 10, at 7:00 in the JA PAC. Look for an exciting and original program for the concert, which will also include performances by the Jazz Band and the Sixth Grade Band.
