29 de abril de 2021 - Concierto de Spring Band de MHS

Hola, padres y familias de la banda,

La fecha prevista para nuestro concierto de primavera es el domingo 16 de mayo a última hora de la tarde, con una fecha de lluvia el domingo 23 de mayo si es necesario. ¡Por favor marque sus calendarios y planee asistir si es posible!

Hemos estado esperando por un tiempo la aprobación de la escuela, pero con solo dos semanas para el final necesitaba conseguir la fecha. Si la escuela decide no permitir este evento, planificaremos algún tipo de opción grabada.
