District Music Festival was held in Miles City on Friday, April 22. The band and choir both performed for judges. The band received the highest score of all the bands for the day and the choir also received a I (superior), scoring the only I besides the Miles City schools. The music students should be very proud of the accomplishments and ratings that they received.
