Housel Middle School hosts Central Washington Band Festival

Housel Middle School hosted over 300 band students from 8 schools for the Central Washington Band Festival. Our guest conductor, James Bennett of Pasco SD, was very complimentary of our "students in the red shirts" who helped with setup and acted as leaders of behavior during the 3 hours of combined rehearsal.

If you ever wanted to hear what 300 band mostly-2nd-year band students sound like together—including 33 percussionists!--here's a link to the YouTube recordings. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLzqzR8mxWVeOIAvsUm7irjSm8_NQ446RF&si=qfJDCG6L1k9l_Vwc

If you want to hear more (and maybe a bit less loud!), our HMS Spring Concert is next Tuesday 5/21 at the PHS Auditorium at 6:00pm AND 7:30pm (2 shows!).
