Pep Band Opportunity
The Sun Prairie East High School Pep Band, Epoch Sound, has invited all middle school band students in Sun Prairie to perform with them at the SP East High School Basketball Game on Friday, December 13th. The Epoch Sound event on December 13 will run from 3:45 until 7:30 pm. We begin at Prairie View with a rehearsal and pizza dinner and then take a bus over to the high school for the basketball game. Students will need their own transportation home after the game. A specific breakdown of the schedule will be available after the Thanksgiving holiday. This is an optional event for students.
In preparation for this event we will have two after school rehearsals. The after school rehearsals will be on Friday, November 22, and Friday, December 6. These rehearsals will begin after school and end at 4:30pm.
