This Friday ... THANK YOU for supporting the SHS Junior Class!

On Saturday, April 25, three of our students represented SMS at the ILMEA Elementary Band & Chorus Festival.
Participation in the festival is nomination based. Mr. Pierce nominated Nick Pitstick and Warren Young and Ms. Thorsen nominated Elaina Leal. Students are nominated based on their dedication, skill and passion for music.
The students spent the entire morning and early afternoon rehearsing with peers from across the area. At the end of the day, the students participated in a concert with over 150 band students and 56 chorus students.
Beyond the music, it was a fantastic opportunity for SMS students to step out of their comfort zones and make new friends who share their love for music!
Congratulations Nick, Warren & Elaina! 🎵
