NBDA Auditions Recap

  • Congrats to all Union students who auditioned for the NBDA All-District Honor Band yesterday, and a special shout-out to those who made the honor band!

  • THANK YOU to all students and adults who served at the event, both Friday evening and Saturday. Y'all were seriously CLUTCH. A special note of thanks goes out to our Adult Volunteers Coordinators Bill & Terry Allen (Hospitality) and Liz Delancy (Concessions), plus all parent volunteers those who served in these departments on Saturday. Shout-out to Mr. Gomez, who serves as the Auditions Event Director; dozens of hours go into making the auditions happen. This annual event is quite an undertaking and we absolutely couldn't do it without the faithful service of fine folks like all of you.
