MAIS STATE MARCHING FESTIVAL

All Superior JA Band -- Continuing the All-Superior tradition for the past 26 years.

From Band Booster President Catherine Arnold:

There are so many parents and siblings and friends to thank for our successful MAIS Festival on Saturday. We simply could not have done it without all these energetic volunteers who unselfishly gave several hours of their time and represented our school and our band so well. At the risk of leaving anyone out, I will just highlight Jamie Niemeyer who chaired the event and has been working behind the scenes for several weeks to bring this festival - which has many moving parts - together.  A special thank you to Sue Guindon as well for the design, layout, and ad sales for our attractive program, and for coordinating schedules and director communication.

Mr. Carter adds his thanks for everyone who came out to help. The hard work of many JA Band families provided a positive experience for the visiting bands, directors, and fans. Thank you also to the MAIS Band Division and the Jackson Academy Administration for again allowing us to host the festival.
