Farewell Vanguard class of 2023!
May 19, 2023
On May 9, 2023 Vanguard performed our last concert of the year along with the Loggers Run Middle School band who performed with us in our finale. Before we began preparing for the concert, seniors gave speeches on what their experience was like joining the band. Afterwards we rehearsed and began setting up for our performance. In the concert, Percussion, Wind Ensemble, Symphonic band, and concert band all performed.
