The LHS bands performed in concert, Feb. 26, in the Theater. All pieces performed at the concert will be played again, as well as judged, at the MSHSAA Large Group Festival, Mar. 4, which will take place at Lindbergh High School. In addition, each band will be handed an entirely new sheet of music that must be learned in six minutes to be judged.
