Concert Band Updates
Friday, March 5th with a Thursday, March 4th Dress Rehearsal.
Thursday, May 13th with a Tuesday, May 11th Dress Rehearsal.
Concerts are NOT required for class - obviously we're in a pandemic and will adjust as we need to. Concerts are either Drive-in (In front of the auditorium) starting at 4pm OR in the auditorium at 7pm. We expect to do both as drive-in, but hope for a better future.

Reverse Raffle
Once we get the tickets printed, we will set up a time for each student to pick up their tickets to sale. Each ticket is $100.
With each ticket sold comes (1) dinner plate from Redneck BBQ. Which can be picked up anytime from 3-7 on March the 29th.
The payout amount will be determined by the number of tickets sold. (More details will be posted on our band website and Facebook page )
This year we will be holding the Reverse Raffle via Zoom. Our plan is to have the jazz band playing and volunteers pulling the tickets. This event will be streamed live on our Facebook page on Monday, March 29th 7PM.
