Last Friday both the All Saints beginner and advanced bands performed at the High Note Music Festival in Hershey, Pennsylvania. Our advanced band performed extremely well and was awarded “Superior” ratings from both judges. Our beginner band, performing for the first time ever at the Festival, earned “Excellent” ratings from the judges and played their best ever. The trip to Hershey was a tremendous success, beginning with a traditional Amish breakfast in Lancaster, followed by the bands’ performances and the remainder of the day spent at Hershey Park. Congratulations to Mr. Ward, Mr. Sawasky and all of the students on this wonderful achievement!
