Students and Parents, Friends and Family:
​
As we begin to wrap up a busy Spring semester, we would like to thank you for your support of band at WCJH during the 2024-2025 school year. Thank you for all you have done to make band the best possible experience for your children!
We especially would like to thank our Booster Association Board and those of you who have volunteered your time and expertise in and around the band hall. We have had so many volunteers who have chaperoned, entered data, processed payments, provided snacks, and so much more! These efforts, small and large, all help make our program a success.​
​
Thank you to the WCJH Administration team for your continued support throughout the school year! Thank you to our faculty and staff. We could not do this without your support! Thank you to the Tompkins High School Band Directors, PAC manager and high school student volunteers for helping this night run smoothly! Thank you to our elementary school feeders for being part of our vertical team and supporting the efforts of Music Education at the Junior High level.
​
Thank you parents and guardians for letting us teach your children and for your support. Thank you to our students. We adore showing up to our jobs each day because of you!
Lastly, we would like to extend our sincere gratitude to our eighth grade students. Whether you’ve been with us for a few months or a few years, we have enjoyed sharing every musical moment with you and we wish you the best of luck at high school and beyond!
From our homes to yours, we wish you a fun and relaxing summer break! Don’t forget to practice!

​
When you walk through a storm
Hold your head up high
And don't be afraid of the dark
​
At the end of a storm
There's a golden sky
And the sweet silver song of a lark
​
Walk on through the wind
Walk on through the rain
For your dreams be tossed and blown
​
Walk on, walk on
With hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone
You'll never walk alone
