On April 2nd, the LMS 8th Grade Band travelled to Grenada, MS, to participate in the Dr. Joe Barry Mullins Concert Band Festival. This is the first time in several years that this group has performed outside of our community. The band began preparing for this festival in January. They were required to prepare and perform a concert for three adjudicators and be scored. Next, they were given 8 minutes to sightread (learn and then perform) a piece that they had never seen for a fourth adjudicator.
The Band showed up and showed out and received the superior (highest) rating from each adjudicator! They were a class act and represented our school and community well!
