Wind Symphony Announcements
Announcements updated May 3rd, 2026
What a week, Wind Symphony! I will always be able to say that this was the first group I conducted in the Meyerson and that's a special memory I will always have with you all.
As we head into the FINAL 3 weeks of the school year, please stay on top of your concert music. Only a few more rehearsals until the Spring Concert.
EXTRA OUTSIDE OF SCHOOL REHEARSALS
With the amount of music we need to learn in only 4 classes, it's important that we add 2 rehearsals to our schedule, so it's the best representation of our capabilities and musicianship.
Wed, May 6 @ 7:00am (Band Hall)
Thurs, May 14 @ 7:00am (Stage)
