The seventh through 12th grade concert band joined the fifth and sixth graders for a joint performance of Ralph Ford's "Dark Adventure," which featured a solo from Alexandria Wehrer. Band director Mr. Michael Sisley noted that several older students have worked with the fifth and sixth graders throughout the year, serving as mentors. The seventh through 12th grade concert band then performed a trio of pieces, all of which included solo performances.

"Apollo: Myth and Legend" featured solos from Lucas Barefoot, Atreyu Convard, Ashley Bulger and Andy Diep. Selections from "The Lion King" included a solo from Rachel Zajicek, and "Fate of the Gods" featured solos from Ashley Bulger, Rachel Zajicek, Nathan Heddleston, Shalawn Parker, Peter Bos, Josie Strom, Andy Diep and Chase Morrison.
