Sweet Home’s bands give an outdoor performance in the High School Quad Thursday, May 18. The venue was necessitated by work being done on the school auditorium, where musical concerts normally are held. Director Eli Heide did some things different in this concert, combining all three bands, above and left, in a rendition of the familiar (to many current and former band members) “Soaring Through Ionian Skies.” Above left, High School Band members, from left, Brady Cruise, Jessica Sanderson, Braden Greene and Robert Caudill perform during a rendition of “The Phantom of the Opera.” The program included selections such as “Home on the Range” and Montego Bay” by the Sixth Grade Beginning Band, “Wyndham Marziale” and “Bist Du Bei Mir” and more by the Junior High Band, and selections from “Swan Lake,” “Les Miserables,” and an arrangement of “Fuga Sopra: Durch Adams Fall ist Ganz Vederbt,” the latter arranged by Heide himself.
