It has long been an initiative amongst the band directors of Santa Rosa County to be able to offer an honors class to those students willing to go the extra mile. We have now been approved, and the classes are available starting the first day of school.
Students wanting the honors credit will remain in their current class, but their class code will be amended to reflect the honors.
If you feel that you qualify and would like to be in the honors program, please let Mr. Barrow know by
Tuesday, August, 15th.
The requirements are below.
