The Sanford community came together on Tuesday, March 11th, to fill the stands of Partner's Bank Gymnasium at Sanford High School for the 36th Annual Sanford Band Fest Concert. The evening showcased the musical journey of Sanford's student musicians from grades 5 through 12, highlighting their growth and dedication. The gymnasium buzzed with excitement as proud parents, siblings, grandparents, and community members gathered to support over 200 young musicians. Under the direction of Josh Hyssong, who led the 5th and 6th grade bands, Erica Scarano, who conducted the 7th and 8th grade ensembles, and Hailey Francoeur, who directed the high school musicians, students demonstrated impressive musical skill and enthusiasm. The 5th grade band opened the concert with three charming selections: the rhythmic "Rain, Rain," the playful "Itsy, Bitsy Spider," and the lively English folk song "Hot Cross Buns." For many of these young musicians, this performance marked their first major concert experience, yet they played with remarkable confidence. "I was proud to be a band director," reflected Hyssong. "My two groups played their hearts out and did a great job being flexible. An event of Band Fest's magnitude involves a lot of moving pieces and patience, and the kids really rolled with the punches to make it happen. Everyone's hard work really paid off and made for a special evening to remember." The 6th grade band followed with "Jubilant Spirit" by Carol Britton Chambers and "Alpha Dog" by Heather Hoefle, showcasing their developing technical abilities and ensemble skills. Scarano's 7th grade musicians delivered energetic performances of "Breakneck" by Tyler Arcari and "Cantina Band" by John Williams, arranged by Michael Kamuf. The 8th grade band continued the program with the dynamic "Brace for Impact" by Christina Huss and the inspiring "Amen!" by Frank Ticheli. "I am so proud of my 7th and 8th graders for their focus and attention to detail in the concert," said Ms. Scarano. "All of the hard work and preparation really came through and I could not be more proud of their performances! Both groups had me dancing on the podium and I couldn't have asked for anything better!" The evening concluded with all bands joining together for a moving rendition of "6 Note Folk Song Suite," arranged by Joseph Compello, creating a powerful visual and auditory representation of the musical journey from beginner to accomplished musician. "What makes Band Fest special is seeing the progression of our students' musical abilities from elementary through high school," said Mr. Hyssong. "It's inspiring for our younger students to hear the high school musicians and envision their own musical futures."
