They were followed by the 6th Grade Band, performing “Autumn Fanfare,” “After the Rain” and Bravado Tango.”

Finally, the 7th/8th Grade Band concluded the concert with “Summit Fanfare,” “Ahrirang,” and “Kitty Hawk March.”

Members of the 7th/8th Grade Band were also recognized for their recent participation in the North Central Iowa Bandmaster Association Middle School Honor Band.
