FBA Solo & Ensemble - Congratulation to all of the MHS students that performed this past Saturday for the Solo & Ensemble MPA. Ms. Ruiz and I heard some amazing performances and are so proud of all of you! Out of 36 entries, 13 were rated Excellent and 23 were rated Superior! It is always super special when our students are able to show off their talents to the world. There will possibly be a chance in the near future for everyone to listen to you again. More on this soon :-)

FBA Jazz - This Friday, the Blackwater Beats Jazz Band will be in performance for the FBA Jazz MPA at PSC. We perform at 5:30pm. Admission is FREE. See below for complete itinerary. Again, we encourage you to come out and support our students and listen to some great music!
