We are just two days away from Wind Ensemble's performance at the Iowa Bandmasters Association conference! The Foundation for the Iowa City Community School District has been kind enough to draft and house a fundraiser for the ICCSD bands that are performing this week. Money raised will go towards offsetting the cost of transporting students and instruments to Des Moines. Thank you in advance for donating and/or sharing the fundraiser page!

We are fortunate to have world-class veena artist Jayashree Aravind (middle), vocalist Anugrah Pakshmanan (right), and percussionist Ashwin Subramaniyan (left) here from India. They are performing and discussing traditional south-Indian music for our 9th grade students during 2nd period!

Thanks to Shanthi, one of our wonderful para-educators, for making this connection!
