Things to check out:

We are particularly proud of this endeavor and hope you enjoy this new site. Please be patient as we are still learning We will be adding new features in the very near future. So, hop on and take our new website for a test drive.
We have a new bulletin board where students, staff and boosters can discuss band, band life and other related topics.
We still have lots of pictures, and we will be adding other media content very soon.

Our web development team:
This website has been designed by a committee headed by booster alum, Steve Friedman, who always wanted to see this site become more informative and helpful. To make this happen, Steve has had lots of help from many new internet friends (see the links page). They provided insight and helped clean up things when it didn't work out quite so well. Several members of the booster family helped as well including Betsy Connolly, Jerry Tessendorf, and Scott Fouse. And, it couldn't have been done with out the help and encouragement of Marty and Mary Anne Martone.
