Northern Bands Newsletter 13 - Week of March 19
Hello Band Families!
IRELAND 2026
Due to low enrollment, the 2026 music trip to Ireland has been canceled. No deposits were processed, and the trip has been archived.
We’re now planning an exciting domestic trip for 2026 that will be more affordable while still offering a great experience. Details will be shared before Spring Break.
Thank you for your support! 🎶
