Last week, PCA Band Director, Mike Doll, invited the 3rd through 5th grade music classes to his 6th-grade band class. Mr. Doll wanted to showcase the middle school kids and how they adjusted the band program during this past year due to COVID, including not being able to start playing instruments until January instead of August.

Despite the setbacks, the 6th-grade band proved they had resilience and their performance was a hit! “It was so fun to hear about their accomplishments in the crazy mixed-up year,” said elementary music teacher Pam Hall. “We are so proud of our 6th grade band class and we thank them for sharing the joy of music with us. Thank you Mr. Doll!”
