What a fantastic finale to a week and a half of hard work, growth, and music-making! East Porter's 7th and 8th grade band students wrapped up the EPiC Summer Fun Band program with a concert that showed just how far they’ve come in such a short time.
It’s amazing what can happen in just 10 days when passionate students, dedicated directors, and a shared love of music come together. Bravo to our young musicians and thank you to everyone who came out to support them! 🎵👏
