The SAT Proctor Program Information Meeting will be held on Wednesday, Aug 25th at 6:15 pm in the Band Room. Come find out about the SAT program – how you can help and earn funds to support all components of the music programs at Mt. Carmel, including band, color guard, and orchestra.

Friday, August 13th, marks the end of the Band and Guard Camp Week. It is our tradition to celebrate this milestone with a Family Potluck and Concert

Woodwind Players: Entree

The Band Camp Concert takes place in the stadium from 7:15 pm – 8:00 pm. Please come to listen and enjoy all the hard work our students have been doing all week.
