In addition to three school concerts, orchestra members played for the all-school musical and for the vocal students at the Christmas concert. Members of the Marching Band performed at all home games and in a special Band Blast at the end of the performing season. In addition members marched in the kick- off of the United Fund Raising Parade and in the Bandorama at WSU. Participating in the River Festival, the Stage Band performed for a large noon audience in Heritage Park. Members were also active in various school concerts and programs. Vocal music students were equally busy in giving performances.
