It’s been a fantastic time for band at Kate Collins Middle School! Recently, 43 talented students traveled to Wilson Middle School for the Valley Honor Band auditions. We’re incredibly proud of everyone who took part in this exciting opportunity! Adding to the excitement, our 7th & 8th Grade Band students had the chance to learn from special guest artists Dan Gable and Kimberly Hawkey, who joined us from Boston to share music from the Big Band Era. What a memorable week of growth, learning, and music
