“It takes a great deal of bravery to stand up to our enemies, but just as much to stand up to our friends.”

—J.K. Rowling

• CONGRATULATIONS….to our students who performed in the Clear Falls Percussion Ensemble Concert! Well done to all involved and a special thank you to Seabrook and Bayside Intermediate for their participation in the concert!
• Thank you to the students that represented the Clear Falls Band at the Stewart Fine Arts Night. They did an amazing job as street musicians! Elementary students and parents were excited about the musical opportunities that await for them at the next level.

Notes for Parents & Students:

• All Spring Trip forms must be completed before a student can travel on March 9th. The entire packet and forms are posted on clearfallsband.org
• For those who are going on the trip please go to https://www.tsa.gov/travel . Review the six tabs on the left regarding information about travel. Please make sure your student is in compliance in all areas. In the event your student is pulled out for a random search, there is nothing a director can do until the TSA officers complete their search. If a student is not in compliance and is detained, we will do all that we can to accommodate but the best thing to do is to make sure all laws are followed ahead of time.
