CONCERT BAND



Congratulations to the JA Band for an outstanding performance at the Central Mississippi Concert Band Festival at Ridgeland HS on Thursday. The band received all Superior ratings from the judges at the event. Thanks to the families and friends who came to support the band.

This week is the culmination of the concert band season. The students have worked extremely hard to prepare for this final concert, the last opportunity to hear this repertoire. Please make an effort to come to support your students, and encourage family and friends to do so. 

There are no Sectional rehearsals this week.

TUESDAY, 3/25 - Full Band rehearsal 7:00 - 8:30 in the band hall

FRIDAY, 3/28 - Students dismissed from afternoon classes

11:47 - All students report to the Band Hall. Pizza provided for lunch. Change into concert black.
12:30 - Depart for Prep - PARENT DRIVERS NEEDED - email Mr. Carter if you can help.

The festival is in the new auditorium at Prep. Attendees should arrive early, as parking will be limited and school traffic will be an issue.

Students will need to be picked up at Prep after the performance. Please see Mr. or Mrs. Carter before leaving with your child.

After this week, the band will concentrate on Jazz, with upcoming performances at Mr. Jernberg's retirement reception on April 10, at Mediterranean Fish and Grill on May 6, and the Band Banquet on May 8.
