District middle school bands combine for Honor Band Festival
Talented musicians from Osseo Area Schools’ four middle schools united on Jan. 15 for a day of rehearsals and a performance at the district’s annual Honor Band Festival.
The day’s events took place at Maple Grove Senior High School this year, with over 150 sixth, seventh and eighth grade students spending the day at the school to rehearse from 8:30 a.m. until their 3 p.m. performances.
The annual Honor Band Festival seeks to recognize high-achieving musicians across district middle schools and provide them with an additional opportunity to challenge themselves musically. The bands work with guest conductors from other schools to gain new experiences under different leadership and guidance.
