What's Happening This Week
CONGRATS to our AMS Band Students
On March 8 at MPA our AMS Band had an excellent performance and earned a Superior Rating(highest rating possible) for our overall adjudication! The kids represented AMS well musically and behaviorally. Thank you all for the support.
Special thanks to the many coaches who allowed these students to miss some practice time these past two months to attend band rehearsals. Our success is supported by sacrifices like that and it is greatly appreciated!
