Awesome job to all of our Solo and Ensemble participants! Between the Junior High and High School, approximately 120 Pampa Band students participated in Solo & Ensemble this past weekend. Those 120 students came home with over 130 medals! Additionally, every single High School ensemble that participated Saturday advanced to the State competition in June! Between the six ensembles that advanced, and our two advancing soloists Julia Allen and Korbin Cole, we'll be taking 38 students to TSSEC. Excellent job Pride of Pampa!
Some other notes:
Trip people: We need to catch up on payments. Make sure they're labelled and placed in the drop box ASAP.
Varsity: Online test grades due no later than the 10th. Anything past that will be considered late. This same test material will service as the challenge material at the end of the month.
This week is TMEA week. Please be on your best behavior while the directors are out for conference!
