Brooks Bands, Week of Feb. 28th - Mar. 4th

Pasta Night was a huge success this past weekend. Thank you students for a wonderful evening of music making and thank you families for your support for our kids and the music programs at Brooks. The whole event from the small ensembles, the band concert and the jazz ensemble performance was great!!!

Thank you to our parent volunteers and to Nancy Gonzalez for donating all of those Mardi Gras beads for our jazz ensemble performance! Kids make sure you wear them for Fat Tuesday, Mar. 8th at school. The jazz ensemble will be greeting our students at the beginning of the school day with some New Orleans music!
