Central HS/LF Addington MS Annual Spring Concert and Awards Banquet Thursday May 9 at 6pm

Thursday May 9 the Bands of Central High School and LF Addington Middle School will present their annual Spring Concert at the Central High School Auditorium at 6pm. The students have worked very hard this semester to present a great performance for you and your family. I hope everyone can come out and support the Warrior Band program in our last major performance of the year.
Right after the concert we will be having our Spring Awards Banquet in the CHS cafeteria. This will be a great time of food, fellowship and awards for our band students. We will also be presenting a video made my our booster members featuring last year's marching band members. Hope everyone can come and enjoy being together as a band family.
I am very proud of all the work our students have done this year. We have come a long way and overcome many tough obstacles this year. I am excited about the future of our program and am grateful to work with such fine student musicians.
