Last week, six of Sanford Middle School’s 7th and 8th grade band students had the opportunity to rehearse and perform with the District 1 Honors Band. These students auditioned for this ensemble back in October and spent January and February preparing for the festival. Unfortunately their performance on Saturday was snowed out, but they still had the opportunity to rehearse with 78 other students from 13 other area schools!
