A special thanks to Mr Carger and Mrs Moor for all the time and effort they have put into creating such invaluable resources while we haven’t been able to meet face-to-face. All individual instrument recordings for the band pieces have been uploaded as learning resources on the various Google Classroom pages and will remain accessible to students in the Band Program until the end of the year.
