The bands and orchestras are performing at the Michigan School Band and Orchestra Association District 7 Festival Wednesday, Feb. 24 and Thursday, Feb. 25 at the high school.

“Everybody and anybody is invited down during the course of the school day,” band teacher Ian Novoselich said. “As long as their observing good concert educate and want to listen to performances.”

It will be held at the high school from 9a.m. to around 5p.m. on both days. Feb. 24 will be the orchestra day featuring all three orchestras performing and the Feb. 25 will be the band day featuring both middle school bands and all three high school bands performances. Anyone can see it if they are quiet and respectful of the performers.

“It’s really cool to see all the other groups perform,” senior and band student Grant Teeple said. “And kind of gage ourselves to other groups and see where we are at as performers versus other schools.”
