Our Projects
"The THS Band would like to extend our special thanks to you and the Education Foundation for providing grant money for the THS Band to purchase new music stands for the 2022-2023 school year! Upon receiving our new music stands they were immediately put to use as you can see from the pictures below. The Concert Band, Jazz Bands, Small Ensembles, and Soloists students have all benefited from the purchase of our music stands. We sincerely appreciate your support for our band program! Thank you."
