St. Thomas More Band Program: Beginners and Advanced
If you heard music on Thursday afternoon in the school gym, you would have been listening to the St. Thomas More Advanced Band preparing for their performance at the Music in the Parks Festival (Busch Gardens, Williamsburg).
There was a time that our band would go each year to a music festival associated with a tourist area, such as a theme park. The COVID period ended the band travels but last year marked a return of the Spring trip to the Lancaster, PA/Hershey Park area. However, the day was cold and rainy, so the group is traveling south in search of more sunshine.
Thursday mid-day practices in-school will start at around 12:00 noon. A final parents concert is planned for Thursday May 25th at 7:00pm in the St. Thomas More gym. The band will play a student only concert that same day at 2:00pm in preparation for the evening concert.
Good luck to our advanced band at Busch Gardens, and be sure to catch our beginner students perform at the final concert, they are working hard as well.
