Yesterday, the band concert was conducted by Dr. Rob Taylor. The concert featured the SAS middle school band students as well as all of the high school band as well. Middle school band classes, Concert Band, Symphonic Band, and Wind Ensemble all had the pleasure of working with him during their class time.
