On April 18th, 2015, twelve students from LIS, along with their director, went to Rahway 7th & 8th Grade Academy in Rahway, NJ to participate in a 1 day band festival. These students were nominated by their director, Mrs. Allison Kershner, based on their performance in the LIS Concert Band. Once nominated, students were selected and placed into one of 3 Bands – the” Red Band”, the “White Band” and the “Blue Band”. Students received acceptance letters and music a few weeks before the festival so they had time to practice.
It was a very exciting day for everyone. Students were placed in ensembles of up to 100 performers from around Central New Jersey. Everyone was seated next to a student from another school whom they did not know, and all students worked together to rehearse and put on an amazing concert at the end of the day. What great teamwork! The students and Mrs. Kershner had an amazing experience and are looking forward to doing it again in the future.
