Hi Band Families!

If you missed it, or want to watch it again, the 2011-12 Band Video is available on the Band Booster Website:


The video had to be split into three sections due to size, but enjoy!  Special thanks to Kristen James and Kristen Hamilton for coordination, student identification and amazing photos,  to Kim Leyva for more amazing photos and to Howard Hamilton for creating the video.
