2021 Fall Festival
We are so excited to be able to host our Fall Music Festival again! This festival has been going on for over 20 years. High school and middle school instrumental music ensembles from all over the North Bay have been invited to participate in this adjudicated event for music directors and their students to receive essential early feedback on their performances.
Saturday, November 6, 2021 - graded performance for:
Concert Band (6th period)
Symphonic band (5th period)
Orchestra (3rd period)
It takes MANY volunteers to make this event happen and we are asking all parents/guardians/families/students to participate.
Please use our signup.com link to choose a volunteer spot. -Thank you!
