The local event involved approximately 200 students enrolled in the SVSD\u2019s band programs who worked with guest clinician Taylor Schmidt from the DRCSS in Dauphin. “I truly believe that music is everything. It can be a part of anyone’s life, for their whole life.” said Schmidt. “The fact these kids are coming in here and spending the whole day playing music makes me feel great that there is something awesome going on in this school division.” he added.<\/p>\n

The day featured a performance by the SVRSS concert band during lunch as well as performances by the mass bands later in the afternoon.<\/p>\n
