Band

“Sing a new song unto the Lord, play skillfully and shout for joy!” Psalm 33:3

For 25 years Timothy has been glorifying our Lord Jesus Christ with a wide variety of students, talent and music. The TCS Band Program exists to honor the Lord with the talent He has given us in both our approach to learning and our sharing with others this wonderful gift of music. May God be continually glorified as we enter the next quarter-century of instrumental music at TCS.
