7th/8th Grade Band
7th/8th Grade Orchestra
In order to accommodate this change, the bus lists must also change from what was posted in the school today. ALL of the Eastmen and Treble Choir members will ride on the first two buses. The remaining band and orchestra students, as well as all the parent chaperones, will be divided on the other four buses.
Additionally, we are pushing back our departure time from the park to 5:15 p.m.,
