The Northern Plains League Band Clinic was hosted by Tescott Monday February 13, 2012. Nineteen of the 22 Southern Cloud high school band students attended. The clinic gives students a chance to perform in a large band situation and meet other high school students in a non-competitive format. About 120 students from Southern Cloud, Lincoln, Pike Valley, Sylvan, Wilson and Tescott participated. Chase and St. Johns were unable to attend because of the weather.
The guest clinician was Dr. Lane Weaver from Fort Hays State University. He worked with the students for about 6 hours, correcting and polishing the songs. At 4:30 the band performed for a small audience. The concert included “Omaha Beach Concert March”, “Encanto”, “To Reap the Blessings of Freedom”, a medley of armed services hymns, and “Secret Agent Man”.
A big Thank You to the administrator/parents who attended the concert. Musicians need an audience!
