Chicago Was Great


The Symphonic Band, Percussion & Jazz Ensembles participated in the Windy City Classic Music Festival. Each group earned a "GOLD" rating and placed 1st in their respective divisions. Amanda Watts was recognized for her outstanding skills.

Thank you to all that had an input on the execution of the trip, which includes, MTI Bus Lines, Thomas Dortch, and Mr. Kenner. Thanks to all for the prayers of a safe return in spite of having to stay an extra day for safety. We’re already looking for next year’s trip.

You can view and purchase the many pictures on the website for QP Media.com.



Say good-bye to our 8th graders. You’ll truly be missed. (see Students Corner)
