A wonderfully packed house at tonight's 7th and 8th grade Band Parent Info Meeting.

We love the culture of belonging and connectedness our band directors are cultivating here at GMS!

Our parents are supportive and engaged as we ACHIEVE EXCELLENCE.

SUMMER SHOUT OUT: Our band students joined over 150+ band students from across @wcsedu at the Inaugural WCS Summer Band Camp last week.

Our very own Mr. Blue helped cast the vision for the camp which included band directors from WCS including Mr. Jankowski! ����🎺

Lessons this week involve cleaning and maintaining working instruments. We are always looking to improve the quality of instruments that we can offer our students. If you would like to donate to the band, please reach out.

Wow! Just wow!

Multiple standing ovations. A recognition of our long-time band director, Jan Dossey. A recognition of an exemplary award to our band directors, Mr. Blue and Mr. Jankowski. Just an all-around phenomenal evening for our 6th, 7th, and 8th grade bands!

FUN FACT:

At GMS, we have grown our student participation in our #music programs by 15% over the last two years from 19% to 34%.

That means currently one in every three students at GMS participates in band, orchestra, or choir!

Our campus is hopping today and part of the good energy is coming from today's band clinic we're hosting. Our award-winning band is always working to get better and we're proud of our directors, Mr. Jankowski and Mr. Blue, and all our @wcsGMSband students!!!🎷🎺🥁
