As we wind down our fundraiser, I am happy to report that we have doubled our initial goal! Thank you so much for your help and support. 7th & 8th graders had a great time at MS Band Night on Friday so be sure to read this week’s newsletter for all that is going on in the Belton MS Band: https://secure.smore.com/n/hvc84

We have surpassed our fundraising goal thanks to the efforts of our parents and students – THANK YOU! By the end of this week, Beginners will get to take their instrument home to practice for at least 25 minutes a day, 5 days per week. Symphonic Band and Wind Ensemble have 2 events this week: Rehearsal from 5-6pm on Wednesday and MS Band Night 5:30-9:00pm on Friday.
