FBA SYMPHONIC BAND NEWS
This year has flown by! It has
been an absolute joy working with your kids and sharing the love of music with
them each day. Here are a few items that you need to be aware of as the end of
the school year approaches. Students were sent home with a letter. Please sign
and return the attached page by Friday, April 24, so I know you are aware
of the various end-of-year band activities. If you are available to help with events, please indicate on the returned page of the newsletter and email Mrs. Conard ASAP.
