High school parents were on hand to answer 8th grade parent questions about MS Marching Band related to band and athletics, theatre, choir, orchestra, and AP course load, college path, music major, band 101, just for fun. We also discussed band camp, time commitment, and ways to get involved. We love making connections with potential new band parents and hope to welcome them into the band family next year!
