Hello Everyone-

We are still awaiting an open date for the 8th grade show with Salem High. The high school is always in use by one group or another, which is a good thing, but makes it tough for us to find an opening...stay tuned.

Also, remember to visit www.jwpepper.com and search the music we are playing. You can listen and even play along.

Keep up the good work as we enter quarter number 3!

Mr. Moe

Band Geeks:

gr. 6.....Haley L.

gr. 7.....Ricardo

gr. 8.....S. Parsons..thanks for playing bass.
