Accolades and Achievements:

Congratulations to our Concert & Symphonic Bands! As you know, our school participates in the

Instrumental Music Program. Each year, the program sponsors a festival in the spring to showcase all of their

band students in a concert for families and friends. In addition, each band’s performance is adjudicated according

to ten different musical criteria by judges who are experts in the field of music education. This year, our Concert

Band has been awarded an ‘Excellent’ rating and our Symphonic Band earned a ‘Superior’ rating.

Congratulations to our band director, Mr. Wes Osment, and to all of our talented band students! Once again,

Slade students “Rise Above!”
