Navy Band to Perform at WHS - Reserve Your Seat!
The United States Navy Band, which performs at Presidential inaugurations and other state ceremonies, will be performing on Monday, March 7 at 7:00 p.m at Wellesley High School. The event is free for all to attend, but seating is limited. Currently, we are only accepting people on a waiting list but we hope to open up more seats in a few weeks. Get your name on the list now so you can get first access to any seats we release.
Reserve your seat.
We need many volunteers, beyond those in performing arts, to make this event a success. We are looking for a number of parents to fill slots the evening of the performance, none of which will keep you from attending the concert.
Please

We are hoping for 100% participating from the class in funding this event.
