Benton Community Band Senior Award Winners

The Festival of Bands event at the MS/HS on Wednesday evening was a wonderful evening of musical entertainment.  Our kids are very musically talented and it was great to see the quality performances at all levels as well as the progression in skill as students move from elementary to middle school to high school. 

It was also a special evening as Director Weber and Director Lampkin presented the senior awards.  The senior class band members have provided a great deal of leadership to the band program and the high school this year.  Please join me in congratulating the 2014 senior award winners for high school instrumental music.
