Description

Come celebrate all of the hard work that your students have put into music before they head off to college and continue their careers in music! This will be a day for the students to "sign" a letter of intent to the college or university that they will be attending and be recognized for their commitment to music. Every student who registers before May 4th will receive a certificate and have the opportunity to sign. This event is open to all graduating seniors who are planning to continue their music education in college. You do not have to be majoring in music, but just participating in band, orchestra, or choir in some capacity at the collegiate level. Come wearing the colors of the College/University that you will be attending, as there will be many photo opportunities! We will be joined by our Keynote Speaker Dr. Jonathan Alvis! Dr. Jonathan D. Alvis is Director of Bands and Assistant Professor of Music at Angelo State University where he directs the Wind Ensemble and Ram Band (marching band), oversees the entire band area, and is the director of the Summer Band Camp.
