8th Grade Shout Outs
Everyone - This is 8th grade band I will NEVER forget. Your first day at Trask in 6th grade was my first day at Trask too (although it was year 15 for me). It's like we grew up together: you all working your way through middle school and becoming awesome, and me settling into my "forever" school and trying to build the band program to the best it can be. Along the way, we played some great music, had some good times, got on each others nerves and then got over it..... over and over again until we got to tonight. I'm so proud to be your band director. Thank you for 3 years of amazing memories and laughs. If you forget everything I ever taught you, please remember that once upon a time, you were a part of a group that was really, truly, honestly, delightfully, and most of all musically something special. - Mr. Black
