Would you like a treat during our PLES concert, or give a treat to a student after their performance? The Music Department will be putting on a bake sale on May 29th before the concert to help raise funds for the music department! We are looking to buy a couple more saxophones, a trombone, shirts/uniforms, and raise funds for students to go to festival in the future! Please consider getting some treats at the concert or donating to the department on May 29th. We look forward to seeing you there!
