Welcome!!!Posted by: Mr. Wright in Alumni, Audition Bands, Concert Band, General, Jazz Band, Marching Band, Pit Orchestra, Small Ensembles, UncategorizedFor those that have been a part of the QACHS Band program over the past several years with me, know that one of the key elements that I feel is most important to making this program successful is communication. I like to keep everyone as informed as possible and make future plans and schedules available as soon as possible so that we can all plan our very busy lives accordingly. I hope that through this new communication medium, that I will be able to keep everyone up to date with the latest information from the band program. Stay tuned and stay up to date.
