The Senior Band also received the highest score possible at the festival three 5 Star ratings and received a Superior Performance Achievement Award.
Taylor Schmidt says not only did the 103 band students play well, but they were great ambassadors of Dauphin and the DRCSS.
“It’s just an opportunity for you to go and get some music ready in the middle of the year and play at a festival and receive some great adjudication, and get an idea of how you are doing.”
