Junior High Concert

The concert by the junior high band and choir was a great example of what some good musicians can do when they work together. I'm very proud of what the band has accomplished this year and look forward to more concerts..

Great Job!!

Elementary Spring Music Program

The Parkers Prairie 5th and 6th grade band will be performing for parents and the community on Friday, May 27, at 12:30, in the elementary gym. We ask that the kids dress nicely. Jeans are allowed but the kids should wear a nice shirt without large writing. See you next Friday.

Here are videos of two songs that will be played in the concert:

Junior high band and choir concert next Monday

The junior high band and choir will be performing their spring concert next Monday, May 23, at 7:30 p.m. in the high school gym. The kids have been working hard on this music, some of which is quite difficult.

New marching band song and cadence

We've got a new marching band song this year, "Forget You" by Cee Lo Green. Most of you have heard the song before. It's a really great arrangement for marching band and fun to play. Both the Junior High and Senior High bands have only looked at it a couple times but we'll hit it hard after both concerts are done. Check out the link on the sidebar to hear the new marching band song and to see the 2011 marching band schedule.
The percussion section is also working on a new cadence for this year. Click the link on the sidebar to hear the new cadence.
