I hope that everyone had an enjoyable Thanksgiving break. Before we know it, we'll be celebrating the Christmas season and a New Year!

Thank you for helping to "Light up Louisville" this past weekend. I certainly appreciate everyone who performed, along with those who supported the band along the parade route.

On Saturday we have a number of students who will be performing at The University of Akron as members of either the Ohio Band Directors Conference Honor Band or All Star Band. The Honor Band is an auditioned band chosen by recorded submission. Congratulations to Morgan Callan for being accepted into this fine group! All Star band members are chosen based on director recommendation.
