BAND BANQUET
Thank you to Martha Ray for organizing the banquet on Thursday. It was a great opportunity for the JA Band "family" to get together to recognize our students for their efforts and achievements this year.
The "Year in Review" slideshow video has been posted to YouTube. Click on the link to the upper right to view the video. We have also included links to the Jackson Independent Winter Guard video and the marching band's performance at BOA Atlanta in October.
