News You Can Use
Pageant of Bands is coming up quickly, Sunday, Febuary 21st at 2:30 pm! If you havene't been around before it is a great afternoon showcasing all the bands from the 6th Grade Band all the way up to the Symphonic Band at Holt High School. Immediately following the concert there will be a pasta dinner. This is a great way to finish of the afternoon as well as a chance to support our band program. Don't forget the basket raffle as well. The dinner menu as well as information on ordering tickets can be found here.

New Band Scholarship Fund
The Holt Band Boosters Executive Board has decided to establish an annual scholarship fund in order to present at least one graduating senior each year with a scholarship to be used at the college of his/her choice. Presently a committee of Board members and your Grade Level Parent Representatives is working on the criteria for this scholarship and a minimum dollar amount. Look for more information about this on the Boosters page.
