West Branch Middle and High School band students will be performing at the annual Festival of Bands at 7:30 p.m. tonight in the high school gym. The concert will feature performances by all of the West Branch bands in grades five through 12, including the Jazz Bands. It will of course include the WB tradition of the playing of "Hang on Sloopy" by all of the combined bands as the grand finale. This year will also feature a special Ohio guest composer; the sixth grade band will be presenting the premiere performance of Brian Monroe's composition "Alien Invasion from the Dark Planet." Monroe will be in attendance for this premiere and serve as the narrator during the performance. Admission is free and open to the public.
