Middle School Concert

Band Concert Last night went excellent. The kids sounded great, and looked great too!

Concert Band Performed Four pieces: "Let's Go Band", "Galactic Episode", "Westwind Overture" and "Eagle Summit March".

Symphonic Band performed four as well: "Cumberland Gap", "Anasazi", "Torero!" and "March on a Welsh Air".

This performance was the debut of the new uniforms for the symphonic band (black ties and cummerbunds) and they looked very professional.

The band was also excited about the number of audience members that attended. Thanks to all that showed up to support the band!

Veteran's Day

This weekend the High School Marching Band competed in the Auburn Veteran's Day Marching Band Competition. They placed first in the novice division in the parade. They did a great job!

We performed "Thriller" and "Military Escort March".

The kids also had the opportunity to watch some really great field shows and hear some great bands at the same time, many of them that were smaller than our ensemble.

The kids were very excited about the opportunities for the future that we should be bringing to Tenino in association with the field show marching and the competitions.

CONGRATULATIONS AGAIN MARCHING BAND!!!
