🎶🏆 Ada Band Update from Mr. Bivens! 🏆🎶
I just wanted to take a moment to say a heartfelt THANK YOU to all the parents who trusted us to take your students to Kings Island! The kids had an amazing time and truly strengthened the bond they share with one another. I was surprised by how many students had never ridden a roller coaster — I’m so glad we were able to give them that experience!
Even more exciting: our band received a Superior Rating — the highest rating possible — for our performance at Loveland High School! I couldn’t be prouder of our students for earning this honor!
Thank you for continuing to support your students, encouraging them through assignments, and motivating them to keep playing.
🎉 Special shoutout to all the parents who helped make this trip possible. Our students represented Ada Schools with pride, and that’s a reflection of the amazing support they receive at home.
📸 Attached are some fun photos from the end of the day — enjoy!
