Mission Possible: Grow the Band
This year has been a challenging one that brought a lot of uncertainty. Some students didn't know what the school year was going to look like for them and chose to pursue other opportunities.
STUDENTS - If you know of a student that WAS in band at Kerr or Steam and would like to return, encourage that student to meet with a Director.
