The Albany sixth grade band attended the Clyde Beginner Band Festival on Saturday, April 24 and earned straight division 1 ratings for their performance of “The Buglers” by Edmondson and “Star Wars” by Williams, arranged by Strommen. 

Albany band director Will Vaughan was very pleased with his musicians both on and off of the stage. 

“The students played very well and acted professionally and respectfully while on the trip,” said Vaughan. “They were a great representation of the Albany Independent School District and the City of Albany.”

Vaughn added that one of the Clyde band directors who has assisted with the festival for many years commented to him that this group was the “best Albany sixth grade band she has heard.”

Following the performance, band members and their sponsors traveled the short distance to Max Air in Abilene for some jump time and to celebrate their ratings.
