Oliver Hobbs Concert #61

Ok, so I'm not really sure if it's the 61st Oliver Hobbs Concert... the program is in the car. But I'm pretty close I think. This concert was started to honor one of Leon's former band directors and continues each year as the end of the year presentation for the Concert and Symphonic Bands. This year there were a couple of wonderful additions... 

Percussion Ensembles:




And also a presentation to the Leon School Board for their very generous donation towards our new uniform drive which allowed us to reach our goal of $57,000. So we all know what that means... NO MORE HEAVY WOOL UNIFORMS IN AUGUST!! I'm a little sad about it because Tyler wore that uniform when he was in high school and now Chance has worn it for two years. They are unique and allowed us to stand out among the other bands. I remember when the full band used to HIGH STEP onto the field for their half-time shows... it was AWESOME and always gave me chills.


And I just love this one... one of the drum majors for marching band and also a senior, it was her very last high school concert. She will be very missed.
