The Middle School All-State Band event was a tremendous success, bringing together talented young musicians from across the state for an unforgettable experience. A huge thank you goes out to the staff at PRCC for providing beautiful accommodations that made the event even more enjoyable.

Under the direction of our amazing conductor, Teresa J. Elliott, the band was treated to a thoughtfully programmed concert that was nothing short of fantastic.
