Attention Graduating Seniors and Families!
If you no longer want your band warm up suit, please consider donating it back to the program. There are many families who could use the support and they would be very appreciative of this gesture. If this is something you are interested in doing, please contact Mr. Beratis.

Water Donations
It has been a standing tradition that the band program is allowed to sell water at graduation. We are looking for parents to donate water for this event. If you are willing to donate please bring the water to the band room or contact the Rutsteins (4ruts@optonline.net ) to make arrangements for the water to be dropped off at their house.
Also, we are looking for large water coolers that we can borrow for graduation. Please make sure your name appears on your cooler so that we know who to return it to.
