Nice job to the band for their pregame and halftime shows Friday night. And what a nailbiter of a win for the team! We now advance to the 2nd round of district playoffs. The team plays Nazareth HS on Friday at Nazareth. Details are above.
The orchestra and string orchestra have been rehearsing very well over the past few weeks and our upcoming concerts are going to be awesome! The string orchestra had a wonderful field trip to Moravian University where they participated in a string clinic with several other schools. They did a super job and had a wonderful day.
Jazz band tryouts are this week. The audition music is in this folder. Auditions can be via video or live. Live auditions will take place during band on Friday. Video submissions must be in by Friday or they won't be counted. Any questions, see Mr. Moran.
The fife and drum corps will be performing at Governor Wolf and Miller Heights on Tuesday and Wednesday for Veterans Day. We know they will do a great job.
