Wow! What a great start to the year with a fun band camp and an exciting Build the Beat! I had a blast seeing all of the students again and I am so proud of all of them for their performance. I have received so many compliments on how the band sounded from teachers and other parents, and all I can say is that we are lucky to have amazing kids in the Pearson Band! I can't wait to see where this year takes us!
