Welcome back! I hope everyone has had a wonderful and relaxing Spring Break. We are now in the home stretch to the end of the school year. Please make sure you stay up to date with everything.
GCGPC Championships - If you have yet to see our indoor groups, you are really missing out. They have also had outstanding performances these past few months at competitions. You have one final chance to see them at Tate HS this Saturday for the GCGPC Championships. See performance times below. Tickets are $15 cash or $18 for credit cards at the door. Come on out let's cheer for our guard and percussion.
State Solo & Ensemble - This Saturday is also FBA State Solo & Ensemble MPA at Leon HS in Tallahassee. We have nine students that will be participating in this. We wish these students the best of luck as they push themselves to participate at the state level with their individual solos and ensembles.
