So many congratulations to the band students from AC/GC Junior High and the 6th graders from Guthrie Center & Adair-Casey! These young musicians battled through their nerves and competed in our annual Solo and Small Group Music Contest! Special thanks to our guest judge Victoria Anderson, Ms. Dake for organizing it all (and preparing her students), Mrs. Betts for getting the contest off to a great start (and setting up, running lights and sound, and everything else!!!), and to our junior high for hosting!!!
