The Laurie Middle School Grade 7 Concert Band travelled to Penticton March 6, 7 and 8 to participate in the Okanagan Valley Concert Band Festival. More than 30 bands from all over the province performed and were adjudicated during the two-day festival, which included an outstanding evening concert by Kwantlen Polytechnic University’s Wind Ensemble from Surrey, B.C. Under the guidance of Mr. Scott Martin, Laurie performed very well at the festival, and they received an excellent adjudication from the panel of highly qualified music educators.
