The pre-festival concert is a free concert at the Clover School District Auditorium featuring all of the bands in the district participating. Times will be announced a week before the concert. All are welcomed to attend this free concert. It will be expected for our CMS students to stay through all middle school band performances. After the middle school bands perform they are free to go or they can stay to watch the high school bands perform. Again, students will need to stay through the entire middle school portion of the program.
Our festival performance at Liberty High School is also a free concert. All are welcomed to attend as our students represent our school district at the state music festival.
I am extremely proud of our band students progress. Please make sure your child is taking their instrument home daily and practicing their music. Thank you all for your support. Please email or call with any questions. Have a great day!
