Parents and students,

After such a productive week and a half of band camp and an impressive performance at our friends and family show, I hope you are as excited about what this season has to offer as I am! As the school year fast approaches, I wanted to give you some need-to-know information regarding our game this Friday and other reminders:

The Tampa Bay Times interviewed both Chamberlain and Sickles Band students about our upcoming game this Friday J.
