Our school offers a music program for students in grades 6 through 12, including traditional band and marching band. Our dedicated marching band brings spirit to our Friday night football games, performs a spectacular glow show each year, and proudly marches in the Memorial Day parade, Labor Day parade and the Morenci holiday parade.

This weekend, three members of the Morenci Area Schools Middle School band program traveled to Grand Ledge, Michigan to perform at Beagle Middle School for the solo and ensemble festival hosted by MSBOA.

Solo and ensemble festival is an opportunity for individual students to perform a selection of their choice for a musical judge. Each group of students is evaluated by one judge, and given a rating on a scale from 1 to 5 with one being the highest rating for their efforts. Division one ratings receive a blue medal, division two ratings receive a red metal and division 3, 4 and five ratings receive comments only.

Lillian Harsh received a red medal for her trumpet solo, Sean Sawyer received a blue medal for his alto saxophone solo, and Harrison Sarnac received a blue medal for his French horn solo.

Congratulations to Lillian, Sean and Harrison for the efforts this weekend.
