Thank you Kettle Moraine Music Parents Association (KMMPA)!! We are grateful for you!

THANKS FROM KMMPA!!! KM Music Parents Association would like to express our sincere appreciation to all those who attended music events this year and donated generously to support our outstanding KM music programs. We raised over $5500 and awarded neary $4000 in grants to music teachers. Those grants included new music for KMMS Jazz, supporting KMHS Band travel to Washington, DC for Honor Flight and transportation to music festivals where our students performed – just to name a few. If you'd like to support KMMPA, you can donate at this link. Congratulations to all students on the amazing year of music at KM and especially to our graduating seniors! And remember to save the date for our 2026 Homecoming Chili/Mac N Cheese Dinner fundraiser on Friday September 25th.

Sharing Day 1 of our Washington DC trip. Come each day for a photo chronicle of our travels!
Day 1 had us at the National Mall with a wonderful tour guide, Donna Joy, and at a Friend's and Family only exclusive concert where we got to hear and see a concert by the Marine Bands in their Barracks. Wow, awe inspiring and moving.

A small group of KMHS band students (grades 9-12) concluded a trip to Washington D.C. on Sunday. Longtime supporters of the Milwaukee-based Stars and Stripes Honor Flights, the KMHS band welcomed Wisconsin Veterans upon their arrival to Washington D.C. on Saturday morning, the band performed at Dulles International Airport for the welcome celebration. Students then greeted the Veterans (including those from the Vietnam and Korean conflicts and two Veterans from World War II) at the WWII Memorial near the Washington Monument.

Two trumpet players from the US Army “Pershing’s Own” band played alongside KM band students. The band also attended a wreath-laying ceremony and the playing of 'Taps' at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Arlington National Cemetery. Following the ceremony, the band received a private Q&A session from Staff Sergeant Wilson Childress of the Pershing's Own band and Arlington ceremonial trumpeter.

Other trip highlights included a concert and military parade at the historic U.S. Marine Barracks, a visit to the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Air and Space Museum, and a tour of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum.
