Although they didn’t perform till 9:45 p.m., the Alliance High School Concert Band earned a Superior rating in the Ohio Music Education Association Large Group Event at GlenOak High School on May 4.
The band qualified for the state competition by earning a Superior rating at a large-group event at Lake High School in March.
“This is the first time I have had a group even qualify for state, let alone earn the top rating,” said Band Director Shaun Fontaine.
