A heartfelt hug to all who helped make this Band Program—especially our incredible parents! The unwavering support you give your children every single day makes our collective efforts effective and meaningful. All of the students' hard-work and accomplishments would be an impossibility if it were not for the gracious support you provide. We cannot thank you enough for your positivity, encouragement and your support.
The Band would like to specifically thank administration, custodial, transportation, teachers, counselors and all faculty and staff that has supports them. Specifically, a HUGE shoutout to the Panther Band Alliance! The PBA is always working behind the scenes to ensure that the Panther Band Program runs smoothly. Whether it’s fitting students for uniforms, towing the band trailer, chaperoning field show competitions, or organizing fundraisers, our PBA Parents are always there to support the band!
A special thank you to the amazing staff below that give their time, their support and their advocacy on a daily basis for all music at Bonney Lake. For that we are eternally grateful to be a part of such an amazing school...
