Activities Concert * DATE CHANGE *
A number of our Franklin jazz band students are also members of Franklin’s National History Day team. These students have done outstanding work this year and were recently honored with selection to the state competition. Unfortunately, the date of this state competition conflicts with our scheduled Activities concert on Monday, April 25. The Activities concert includes the Chamber Orchestra, Jazz Band One, and Jazz Band Too.
Because of this new conflict, we have rescheduled the spring Activities Concert for Tuesday, April 26, at 7:00pm. We understand that moving a concert date this late is inconvenient for families, but we feel that this is the fairest solution for our jazz band students and families. Please make this change on your family calendars, and thank you in advance for your understanding.
