On December 8th, 2022, Vanguard had their annual winter band concert. At the concert, Vanguards percussion ensemble, concert band, symphonic band, and wind ensemble performed.  One interesting fact about the Wind Ensemble performance is that they had performed a almost 12 minute long song dedicated to Rosa parks called “A Movement for Rosa by M. camphouse”. Our band director Mr. Shane dedicated months to perfecting our playing for this year’s winter band concert. Many are content with the result of this year’s concert and are excited to see what our band has in store for next year.
