Just Show Up

The answer is a definite “YES”! This is something that we, as a staff, take a great deal of pride in. We also know that there will be times that band and school sports/activities will conflict. Our main mission is to work alongside the coaches/sponsors to figure out solutions when conflicts arise while keeping the individual student out of the middle of the conflict.
