BPS101 50th Annual All-City Band Concert

Description

On Tues., April 4 at 7:30 p.m., more than 700 band students from all eight Batavia Public Schools will convene at the Batavia High School Gymnasium to play a part in history.
 
This year marks the 50th anniversary of the All-City Band Concert, where students in grades 5-12 come together annually to play a wide range of music for their families, friends, and community members.
 
“The All-City Band Concert is such a great performing opportunity for us. Getting that range of talent under one roof is magical … and explains why this event is still going strong after half a century,” said Keith Ozsvath, Rotolo Middle School Band Director.
 
At the special 50th anniversary concert, students will be playing music through the decades, including The Beach Boys and The Beatles.
 
Past Batavia band directors have been invited to attend, including John Heath, Ben Collins, Anna Mudroch, Dave Lesniak, Mike Stiers, and Randy Szostek. After the concert, current and former teachers will be available to speak to former students and parents.
 
The 50th All-City Band Concert at the Batavia High School gymnasium is free and open to all community members.
