All 7th-12th grade band students will receive a medal at the band awards dinner this year and each ensemble will receive a plaque for the band room. Students will head to the State Band Festival in late April. Mrs. Mykeloff would like to thank the band students for a job well done and their parents for all of their help to make this happen. Much appreciation is owed to the JMS staff for all of their assistance and flexibility in getting us this far!  Finally, thanks to the entire student body who is so great at showing their support of the Jonesville Music program!  Congratulations band students and Go Comets!
