Waitsburg Spring Bands Concert

WAITSBURG - Waitsburg School Bands, grades 5-12, will present their annual spring concert on Mon., May 9 at 7 p.m. in the Waitsburg High School Auditorium.

Four bands will play, from young to old, and will finish with cookies and punch in the Cage.

Leading off is the fifth grade band playing some of their favorite short tunes of the year, and the big, new “Regal March.”

“The sixth grade band has a lot of pep and concert music ready to play – they’ll finish off with the Mexican-themed “Navarro,” featuring Theo Anderson on solo trumpet and Kylie Curran on xylophone,” said Director Brad Green.

The Preston Hall band will play the two concert pieces from their superior festival performance: “Jump Street Boogie” and “The Forge of Vulcan.” They will add on another concert piece and some new pep music: “ Trumpets,” by Jason DeRulo, and “Viva la Vida,” by Coldplay.

Finally, the Waitsburg High School Band will play its concert pieces from their excellent festival

performance: “Adagio Cantabile,” by Beethoven, and the snappy “Factory Riffs.” Their pep piece to debut is “Centuries,” by Fall Out Boy.

Please stay to the end and join the bands for cookies and punch. It all starts at 7 in the high school auditorium. Admission is free, and the community is cordially invited.
