Fine Arts Signing Day
We are holding a signing ceremony for all of our Fine Arts students who have been awarded scholarships or gained admittance into a College or University Fine Arts Program. Even if you are NOT planning on majoring in music, we would like to recognize you if you are planning to continue participating in a college band or other ensemble. All Wylie Fine Arts students are invited and encouraged to take part in the ceremony.
Signing will take place on stage in the PAC once we have set a date. The specific signing date will be communicated in class announcements, on the band calendar, and through an email. If you have a conflict, please tell Ms. Lessing.
Students are welcome to invite friends and family! If you have the banner of your school, please feel free to bring it!
