Barton Bobcat Band

🎉 CONCERT DATE UPDATE! 🎉

Mark your calendars! Our Fall Concert is moving to Tuesday, October 27th.

By shifting to this new date, we’ve cleared up a scheduling conflict, meaning 100% of our talented band students will now be able to perform! We couldn't bear the thought of taking the stage without every single student having their moment to shine.

Thank you so much for your flexibility and support. Your kids have been working incredibly hard, and we can't wait to perform a fantastic evening of music for you. See you there! 🎺🥁🎷
