On October 19, 2021, Wilsonville High school held the first band concert of the year in the auditorium. The jazz band, concert band and the symphonic band all performed to the audience on works that they’ve been practicing.

Mr. Davies, the band director, talked about how the students haven’t had enough preparation time to perfect their pieces because school just recently started. According to Mr. Davies the audience made the bands better performers. He exclaimed to the audience, “you bring out the best in them!”

The bands have participated in the homecoming parade, assemblies and at football games. Six members from the symphonic band recently found out that they made it into the Western International Band Clinic.

Last year, needing to practice together but not being able to was an extreme obstacle. This year the band has finally been able to be together as a class and play together. The bands are diving back into their music and have been preparing for this night. Their concert was exceptional and the audience was filled with supporters of the band excited to hear what they had been preparing.
