Dear M100 Family,
I am incredibly proud of each of the performances that our program has put forth over the past few days! The band had a wonderful Pre-UIL performance, the Winter Guard had a very strong performance to conclude their state qualifying competitive season, and both of our jazz ensembles represented themselves well at the Temple College Jazz Festival.
