Event Summaries
Spring Trip - the trip that had been on the calendar for the start of spring break has been taken off. The festival that was on that weekend in which we were planning to attend has been moved and there are no other band festivals withing a reasonable distance that weekend. If another opportunity arises that will work with the calendar, we will look into it. If you are looking at traveling for spring break, I wanted everyone to know that those dates will not be taken by band.
