Lapeer East High School bands "Excellent" at State Band Festival in Perry

Two Lapeer East High School bands scored “Excellent” ratings at the State Band Festival on Friday, April 23 at Perry High School.

The East Concert Band and the Symphony Band each received first division ratings at the Festival.

In addition to playing selected pieces of music, students are also required to perform a sight reading challenge in which they are given two pieces of music and a limited amount of time to practice and then perform in front of judges.

“I am very proud of all the students,” said East Band Director Lyniece Fenner.
