Attention students interested in intermediate band, there are not enough names on the list to run a rehearsal tonight, so there will be NO band practice after school today.

Another shout out to St. Pius and CBA graduates who can already play an instrument. This band is the perfect way for you to get involved at St. John’s. And grade 10’s who miss playing music, being in the band is a great way to keep the skills you developed last year. Grab a friend from last year, and sign up.
