Our students wore the shirts and blouses at our recent school \"Tiger Fest\" and again yesterday when we traveled to Seaside High School to perform in their Multicultural Rally. The students understand that it is like a band uniform, so they had to give them back immediately (although they all wanted to keep them!) This permanent part of our Music program will continue to give status to our musicians in the years to come. Thank you so much for the gift.
