At their May 6 Spring Band Concert, the Bee Cave Middle School Symphonic and Honors Band students joined together as one ensemble and premiered new music for concert band titled, "We Belong," written by Evan VanDoren, a local Austin composer. The music is described as "exciting, expressive, and packed with colorful harmonies that celebrate the special kind of magic experienced when you're part of a band community of caring, empathetic individuals with a shared purpose. More than ever, the band hall serves as a beacon of hope and positivity, reminding us of the power of community and the importance of spaces where everyone is welcome." The directors and students are grateful for the opportunity to present the commission which was made possible by the Lake Travis Education Foundation.
