SUMMER GUITAR LESSONS
Doc is offering a series of 6 summer guitar lessons designed for beginning and intermediate students. It’s a terrific way to enrich your enjoyment of music because the guitar is so different from a wind instrument. Please email him for more details.
SPONSORING A PIECE OF CONCERT MUSIC
Many of the selections that will be performed on our upcoming program are available to be sponsored. Your child’s name will be inscribed on a master copy of each part and the inscription will always be noted in our programs every time we perform the work. Most works are under $100. This is a terrific way to honor your child and help our wonderful band program. Ask your child what works they enjoy and send me a note. Thank you!
