I just want to take a moment to wish everyone a very Happy Thanksgiving.  I feel very thankful for the wonderful group of students that I teach everyday that are a part of the QACHS Band Family and to all of the parent volunteers that give of themselves to help us do what we do each year.  I hope everyone will have a very Blessed Thanksgiving Holiday and will take time to reflect on how fortunate we all are to have the freedoms that we do.
