Welcome Back-to-School 2020-2021! Our Distance Learning will be a new approach to learning Band and Choir, but musicians are known to accept a challenge and adapt to ever changing landscapes. It’s what we do. This year will bring different approaches to learning, but it will offer other aspects of music that aren’t always achievable in a classroom Band and Choir setting. I look forward to this new year and seeing our returning students, as well as meeting our new students. Let’s do this…and do it well! Mrs. Hollenbeck
