THE FESTIVAL OF BANDS was a resounding success! For the first time in the history of this event, we were able to host 4,000 performers and spectators. The contribution of the 250 volunteers made up of fellow JHS Students and Parents cannot be understated. Know that your assistance earned us rave reviews from the Band Directors and their guests. They specifically mentioned how everyone was so attentive and welcoming, and that they had received the best reception of the season in Jupiter. Our success is your success… you too are the Spirit of Jupiter! All of this was made possible by your efforts, so we would like to extend our heartfelt thanks for your terrific help. Please join us this coming Wednesday, November 17th at 8:00 pm as we Send-Off the Spirit of Jupiter Marching Band to the State Championship in Ocala. The event is open to the public at the Jupiter High School field. Get there early by 7:45. This will be a great time to show support to the Spirit of Jupiter Marching Band.
