Last announcements of 2015-2016! Have a great summer! Take advantage of your time off. Play your instrument at least 4 days per week. Start or continue taking private lessons (especially while you have the gift of time over the summer - all of our private teachers are available to teach at SHS over the summer). Take on a new challenge. Practice ILMEA and jazz audition music. See live music. Learn and memorize your music for marching band. The Alternative Rock show should be memorized by the beginning of band camp.
