​
Thank you Dr. McDaniel,
​
On behalf of the students, parents and boosters we would like to thank you for your hard work and dedication to the Music Programs at Rancho Mirage High School.
​
Coming out of the Corona Virus shut down and getting the program to a two-time National Title winning program has been an amazing experience for the students.
​
Thank you for your time and dedication to the students. You are guiding many to college, some in the field of music, some not but they all will have amazing music skills, bonds of band friendships and life long memories.
