Dear Concert, Symphony, and Varsity Band,

Congratulations on a successful final concert of 2016-17! I was very proud to share the stage with you.  Seniors, you should feel great about leaving the program with such a fantastic stage performance.  You have become fine players. The recordings are posted below.  Please use them to reflect upon your performance, hear the ways you have grown as a musician, and set goals for your future performances.

Sincerely,
Mr. Katzenmeyer
