H.S. Band Students Perform Holiday Music in Community

Residents of Cedarhurst Retirement Community enjoyed a special visit by members of the Union H.S. Band on Saturday, December 16. An ensemble of Woodwinds and Brass students performed an afternoon concert of holiday music for the residents. The ensembles were student-led, including selection of repertoire, scheduling of rehearsals, and communicating with the Cedarhurst administration to create the event. Among the participating students are 5 recently named to the Oklahoma 2024 All-State Band. Thank you, students, for your special efforts to spread holiday cheer!
