All City Honor Band

Band students from all 5 middle schools in Springdale joined together for an All-City Honor Band clinic and concert Friday, March 7th. Each school selected students from each instrument section based on leadership, playing skills, attendance, behavior, and work ethic.


They performed difficult music beyond their grade level with only one rehearsal prior to their concert. The students worked hard and had a great time with their friends.


Here is a link to their performance:
