Parents and Students,
On Friday, March 6 the High School concert band will be performing at District 11 Large Group contest at Bellefontaine HS. This event is much like solo and ensemble contest but the entire band will be playing for a rating. This rating could potentially land the band a spot at State Competition later in the year. Parents, relatives and supporters of the band are encouraged to attend our performance in the Auditorium at BHS. Please follow the guidelines listed below. This is a required/graded performance.
Below are the final details for Friday's event:
