And they are off!! Good luck this weekend Raider Musicians!

Way to represent at League Raiders!! SCBL Champions for the Men's team!!! 3rd for the Ladies!!! Several individual champions and personal records!



Just a few reminders about the Music Department trip this weekend.
*We leave Saturday morning at 8 am. Please be here around 7:30 to load the bus and grab your instrument. You'll want to wear your PINK Central Music t-shirt (and possibly your swimsuit if you plan to attend Oceans of Fun).
*Sunday dress is all black for band and Spring concert attire for choir. You are welcome to bring clothes to the park to change into, but that is more for you to keep track of.
*I would recommend packing in a soft sided or duffle bag type of suitcase because of the need to pack them under the bus with all the instruments. Don't bring fragile or expensive things with you in your luggage!
