I do not believe I will ever stop being blown away by the amount of support we receive financially with this event. I am also very thankful to all of the parents who give of their time and effort to make this event go so smoothly. Our student leadership team did a fantastic job with the stage and tech crews making our transitions so seamless. I feel like the event itself gets better every year as we learn and tweak different things.
And what could we do without the tremendous leadership of the Friends of Cleveland Bands. The Playathon would NEVER work without this fantastic parent organization!!
I am truly humbled by the kind words I received throughout the evening and want to thank all of our band family for helping me create this wonderful community!
As we continue into this new school year, I look forward to your help in continuing to build this program into a shining example of collaboration among parents and students. If you ask any 6A HS band director in the state, they know that something special is happening at Cleveland HS.
Musically Yours,
Gary Riler
