ALL INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC SENIORS: SENIOR PORTRAITS NEXT WEEKEND!
One of the traditions in Instrumental Music is taking senior portraits in formal concert attire. The Instrumental Music Senior Photo Shoot will be taking place next weekend, 4/20-4/21, from 3:00-6:00pm each day. THESE PHOTOS ARE FREE AND A GREAT WAY TO CELEBRATE OUR SENIORS!  They will be included in our end-of-the-year slideshow, and we hope to give each senior family a copy as a “thank you” gift.

Students will need to wear their formal concert attire and bring their instruments with them as 501 will be locked. Parents/sibling/buddy photos will be allowed, time permitting. Please signup for your free photo session HERE.
