Dear M100 Family,
Congratulations to all students who performed at the Solo and Ensemble contest this weekend! It is very exciting to see how much each student has grown through this process! We have TMEA coming up this week, and there is no school for students on Monday and Tuesday of the following week. This is a long period of time that we will not be rehearsing in our band classes as a full group, so it will be important for students to do the necessary work to keep up with our UIL music preparation while the directors are gone. Let’s keep pressing forward with the school year!
Here is your weekend update!
