Rock Out! Towards the end of eighth grade, that was the time that I learned what type of music I was interested in, and it was rock music. Thinking nothing of how ‘strange’ it may be, I was happy.

Throughout the year, all band students continually practice pieces and the Final Band Concert is the only concert to have every band student in it from fifth grade all the way up to twelfth. This concert is always very special because it is both the first large concert for the fifth graders and the last for many students. The concert started from the Fifth Grade Band, then to the Junior 6th Grade, Advanced 7th and 8th Grade band, and finally to the High School Concert Band. The concert began exactly on time at 19:00.
