The Symphonic Band concert went really well. Dr. Daugherty was really pleased with Niagara falls. Great job to all other performers! If you haven't made it to any of these event try to make the Wind Ensemble concert Friday with featured soloist Kyle Wilkerson playing UFO by Daugherty, and Amanda Thrasher play the Arutenian concert for trumpet.
