Well done by all! Now time to begin preparations for the Wind Symphony's performance at the Music For All Orlando Regional Festival on Wednesday, April 8, and our Spring Band Concert at the end of April.
In celebration of the successful performances and of the year to date, the Band Council invites you to a Band Block Party this coming Saturday, March 7 at D-lot from 11AM - 2 PM. There will be food, music, and games. Students are asked to bring food respective to their grade and are encouraged to bring chairs and tents. Students are also welcome to perform any music they'd like, provided it is school appropriate, by themselves or with a group, and can sign up to perform on the Google RSVP form. I look forward to seeing everyone there!

Also, if you are free after the Block Party, I encourage everyone to head over to Oviedo High School to cheer on the Winter Park Winter Guard. They perform at 3:00 PM. Lets have a big Winter Park Band contingent!
Happy March! Let's have a fun week.
