March Concert Success!
Thank you for everyone who came out and supported our Band Concert on Thursday! It was amazing to see all the families and for the students to be able to showcase their hard work. A big thank you to my co-director Mr. Stefans for all the work he does for the band program and the students as a whole.
The recording of the concert will be sent out with the newsletter next week!

IGSMA Contest Results
The Peotone 7-8th Grade and 6th Grade Band went to the IGSMA Contest in Manhattan on Saturday. They performed for a panel of judges, got professional recordings, and then received a clinic from the judges. The 7-8th graders got a Division 2 rating with a best score the school as received since going to IGSMA and the 6th graders went for comments. I'm so proud of the students and a huge thank you to all the chaperones who helped make the day run smoothly!
