BAND BAND | Page 5

A message from... Congratulations to an amazingly talented group of students and Mr. Marines for his leadership in guiding students to pursue their passion in music. Some would say the culmination of a great musician is the performance, but as any musician knows the real joy comes from just playing whenever the mood strikes you and letting the melody carry you away. In the words of Plato: “Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything.” Play on! David Scott ASFM MS Principal I have worked with Mr. Marines for the past 10 years and I have seen how he was taken the Band program and turned it into an amazing program where students excel and thrive. A perfect example of this is this opportunity he has created for the students where they will get to record their own music, the music they have learned since they started Band in 6th grade. They get to culminate their middle school years in 8th grade with this performance. Congratulations Mr. Marines and students! Ms. Alejandra Cantú Fine Arts Department Head 4
