I am thouroughly proud of all of you in the band this year and hope you all continue with music in the years to come.
To those who would like to try out for band for this upcoming school year: NHS BAND CAMP will take place during the last 2 weeks of July and the First 2 weeks of August. You must attend these dates in order to be in NHS BAND. Also if you are a current student at NHS who was in band at one time and would like to try again I will be doing to some woodwind and brass instrument teaching and tuturing every Wednesday till the end of school 3:30 to 4:30 PM. It is great to see our hard work paying off. Congradulations NHS band 2009-2010.
