In our second year, the concert band has continued to grow and develop. We performed three concerts that involved music ranging from Level III to Level VI. We also made our second trip to concert band festival. Our performance in the 2002 CDBA High School Concert Band Festival took place on March 13th at Asheboro High School. We programmed a Level IV/V performance. The music selected was “Cajun Folk Songs” by Frank Ticheli and “Dedicatory Overture” by Clifton Williams. Our march was “Gallant Marines” by Karl King. In our preparation, Mr. Jesse Holton, retired band director, and Mr. Brian Doyle, Assistant Director of Bands at UNC-Chapel Hill each came and worked with our band. At festival, our band performed well, showing much growth and improvement. We received a rating of EXCELLENT. We are very pleased with the direction of our program and look forward to its continued growth.
