Thank You!

All AAHB Band Students and Parents,

Just a note to congratulate you on a beautiful performance Friday at Lanier Gardens. I'm so proud of you! Not only did you play well but you really brought joy to many people in your actions and attitude. Thank you for sharing your talents in such a special way. Mrs. Rachel, Mrs. Jennifer and I are so thankful to have the privilege of teaching and directing each of you! =-)

Let's keep up the hard work/practice and have a wonderful Solo and Ensemble Festival and Spring Concert!

Have a blessed week!

Fall Concert Reception Information

Hello Again,
As you have already received an email from Karen about the fall concert on the 13th. Since last year was such a success, we are going to have the same type of reception.
Usually at the fall concert we have a dessert reception held directly after the concert. Then for the spring concert we have a ‘finger food’ reception.
Ok, what do I need? For you to please either email me or sign up this Friday, telling me what you plan to bring…..anything that can be eaten with your fingers…cookies, brownies, fruit, cupcakes, etc.
Water, coffee and hot coca will be provided. If you need ideas, let me know…I will be happy to help!
We are so looking forward to hearing the kids play…and ending the evening with something sweet to eat and sweet fellowship.
