Our grandson Ian, who is in the Concert Band is the main reason we go to this concert. He is the one (right of center) in the white shirt with a bow tie. This photo was taken as everyone was finding their places on the stage.

It is fun to watch John Brackbill direct the band because he is quite energetic

Abram’s Pursuit – David R. Holsinger

Here you can see what Ian would look like with long hair. Because of the angle of the shot I captured the hair of the girl behind him. 🙂

A Simple song – Leonard Bernstein – arr. Michael Sweeney

Honoring the seniors in the band.

Shattering Infinity – Benjamin Dean Taylor

Moving instruments and getting ready for a full stage because the 7th and 8th grade band was being added.

Mr. Brackbill stood on a band ladder on the floor of the auditorium so everyone could see him.

Chasing Mercury – Travis J. Weller

The end of the last song.

Recognition of the directors: Shenna Shirk, Christa Schimitsch and John Brackbill
