The High School Band did a fantastic job at last Friday night's home opener! Despite the cold and rainy conditions, the band put on a wonderful halftime and pre-game show, and helped cheer the football team on to a victory over Pittsfield! Go Pretzels!

High School Marching Band Camp

Our summer marching band camp is less than a month away! Camp will take place the week of August 11th - 14th and is required of all those enrolled in high school band. Everyone should have received the summer mailer back in May and also received a copy during class, but it is attached here as a reminder. The mailer also includes a list of all performance dates for the 2014-2015 school year. Students: please remember to give our band camp schedule to your employers in advance! Enjoy the rest of your summer vacation and we look forward to seeing you in August!
