Junior High Band
St. Francis and Mr. Dewig made history when we launched an after-school Junior High Band program for local students this past fall. The program’s objective is to increase the musical offerings to younger students in our area. After 9 weeks of instruction, these incredible students performed their first concert on Wednesday, November 15th in front of proud family and friends. The Junior High Band Program will continue in January for another semester. Anyone in grades 6th - 8th are welcome to join. Please see the Junior High Band webpage in the Arts section of the website for more information.

Logo Design Update
The current VAPA logo has served our department well, and as we’ve grown over the last couple of years, we’ve decided the time has come for the logo to be refined and updated. When the Drum Line and Junior High Band programs began, they used a logo that incorporates the namesake of our school, St. Francis. The VAPA department has decided to make this icon a part of their main logo. Mr. Dewig has teamed up with a graphic designer to provide us with a new refined look, and we’re excited to unveil the updated logo design:

Drum Line
The St. Francis drumline performed for a couple of football games this season and are preparing for the Basketball season. Look for the drumline to perform on Friday nights at our home basketball games in January, but first witness them on December 8th at the KSBW Share Your Holidays event at the Cal Giant Cooler.
