Nearly 250 students performed to a full crowd at Marco Island Charter Middle School’s gymnasium on May 21st. The evening was full of surprises.
Irish dancers and bumble bees made appearances to coincide with the evening’s song choices. Band Director Martie Miller mixed things up with songs like Queen’s “We Will
Rock You” by Sweeney and Adele’s “Set Fire to the Rain” while working in pieces like “Tribal Drums” by Shaffer and “Celtic Air and Dance No. 2” by Sweeney.
Soloists performed and different instrument sections also had their moment in the spotlight, giving every member of the band a chance to shine in their own way.
