We honor and congratulate the Carmel High School Class of 2025, as they prepare to graduate this evening! We especially send our senior Carmel Band & Guard members many good wishes and love, as they walk across that stage! These students started their high school years at the conclusion of a long lockdown due to the Covid pandemic, and did they make up for lost time! They rose to the occasion and spent the next years learning how to lead and re-invigorating our program. This group of kids celebrated numerous fantastic successes and experiences, including the lifetime memory of marching in the 2022 Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade! Collectively, your band directors, staff, boosters and families are incredibly proud of all of you! The habits and experiences lived during your time with our program will serve you well, as you become adults, and begin to make your own contributions to  our world. We honor your accomplishments and hold so much hope and excitement for each of your futures! You will always be a part of this Carmel Band family💙💛 Congratulations, Class of 2025! #IamCarmelBands #bandfamily (fb)
