New Member Coffee Talk

All new member parents are invited to attend our first New Member Coffee Talk of the 2024 Marching Band season on Tuesday, April 9th at 7pm in the HS staff Dining Room. This will be an informal opportunity to socialize with other new parents and have your questions answered by seasoned band parent mentors. If that doesn’t entice you, perhaps some coffee and some treats will. Please enter the High School through the music wing doors found at the back of the High School. You will walk straight and the dining room will be on your right hand side. We will have signs to direct you. We hope to see you there!

Jazz Night

Please join us this Thursday night in the Mason Middle School Auditorium for a night filled with Jazz Music. The High School Jazz Bands 1 & 2 plus the Middle School Jazz Band will be performing beginning at 7pm. We look forward to seeing you there!
