Annual Band Concert, Dinner and Auction Wrap up and Thanks

The 2012-2013 Aledo Band Boosters Annual Dinner and Auction was huge success - with the money raised from this event it will greatly benefit all the Aledo ISD band students throughout the year. We would like to thank Babe's Chicken House for a wonderful dinner as well as all our other community sponsors, volunteers and parents for their continuous support. A special thanks to our band directors and bands for a great night of entertainment! We look forward to seeing you again next year!
