 On March 10th and 11th nearly 500 instrumental musicians from Saline High School participated in the M.S.B.O.A. District 12 Band and Orchestra Festival held at Saline Middle School.  The musicians are divided into four concert bands, and three orchestras.  Each orchestra or band performed a concert program for three adjudicators on the auditorium stage, and then moved to another room to perform a sight reading piece for a fourth adjudicator.  The sight reading evaluation involves students working together as a team to learn and perform two pieces that they have never seen before. 

All seven Saline High School bands and orchestras performed extremely well and were awarded first division/superior ratings from every adjudicator.    The first division/superior rating is the highest rating awarded at M.S.B.O.A. festivals.   The students, teachers, and parent volunteers worked very hard to make the day a wonderful success.
