On Friday, January 16, several of our talented students had the opportunity to attend the Mankato State Honor Band at Minnesota State University, Mankato. Students participated in morning rehearsals and sectionals with outstanding clinicians before enjoying lunch together at the campus dining hall.
Due to worsening weather conditions, the afternoon rehearsal and concert were canceled for safety reasons. While the day was cut short, our students still gained valuable musical experience and represented our program with professionalism and pride.
We’re proud of their commitment and flexibility, and grateful that everyone returned safely!
