Concert Band performs with W-K high school band

The SMU Concert Band, directed by Dr. Janet Heukeshoven, brought its spring concert to the Wabasha-Kellogg High School on Monday, April 7. The highlight of the performance was a combined band selection to close the performance. The selection performed together was titled “Thunderscapes,” composed by Erik Morales.

The bands both prepared the work individually, then rehearsed together shortly before the 8 p.m. concert, and the 90-member massed band was indeed thunderous. The W-K high school band is directed by Jenny Partin, and SMU student Dulcinia Basile is currently student teaching in the W-K music department.
