Music!

Welcome to today’s performance

presented by the Benjamin Franklin

Falcon Symphonic Band. Soon you

will be hearing wonderful music by

some of Jefferson Elementary School

District’s talented musicians.

Music is and always has been integral

to society. Today we are learning

more about the connections between

music and success in other academic

areas like mathematics and science.

We are proud to continue offering

music education to our students and

hope to one day expand its offerings.

On beha l f o f myse l f and our

musicians, thank you for attending.

We look forward to seeing you at a

future performance!
