McCracken Middle School Concert Band Mini-Festival

This past Saturday, we hosted the inaugural Concert Band Mini-Festival after the unfortunate cancelation of a planned event for the McCracken Middle School Concert Band. We welcomed the Hauser Junior High School Symphonic Band (Brad Meyer, conductor) from Riverside, IL.  The bands performed for each other, received a clinic, and had a joint pizza lunch. Both bands performed exceptionally and behaved professionally the entire morning. Congratulations McCracken and Hauser!

Thank you to our terrific guest clinicians William Goetz and Jenny Carlton (band directors at Troy Middle School) for their work with our students. Special thanks to the many Concert Band parents who helped supervise and feed the kids!
