HH Concert Band Earns Strong Ratings

The Hamilton Heights High School Concert Band delivered an outstanding performance at the ISSMA Organizational Contest hosted at Lafayette Jefferson High School. Competing in Group II, the ensemble earned a Silver Rating, finishing just half a point shy of Gold! “Their achievement is especially notable given the challenge of preparing contest literature in only four rehearsals following a two‑week spring break — all while simultaneously gearing up for their upcoming performance at Walt Disney World,” said Mark Snelson, Hamilton Heights Band Director. “The band rose to the moment with focus, determination, and professionalism, highlighted by expressive solo features and a powerful finale on the student‑favorite ‘Urban Dances.’ ”
