Seventeen of our finest musicians from AISL travelled north to Abuja to participate in the 2nd Annual WAISAL Band consortium. They joined 62 students from all over West Africa to put together an amazing performance. Director Eric Taylor and Asst. Director Olayinka Onisiwo chaperoned our students as well as worked with them in their respective sections.
The participants spent all day Thursday and half of Friday preparing for the initial concert in front of the entire student body at AISA.
Saturday was another full day of rehearsal for the final performance in the late afternoon.
Some of the music performed was at the collegiate level. Our band members did not miss a beat. They hit all the notes and sounded amazing. Click to watch their performance!

If you are in Lagos during the long weekend, check out the action on three courts; here’s the schedule.
