Band students performed at the state jr. high band festival at the University of Utah. They were one of only 30 bands in the entire state to be selected to attend the festival and performed for a panel of 2 judges for ratings as well as participated in a judged sight reading performance. The band received ratings of "Excellent" from all judges and were praised for their ability to perform a good variety of styles and appropriate articulations as well as demonstrate good tone on their instruments throughout their performance.
