Hamilton Township Middle School<br />2010-2011 Winter Concert

Hamilton Township Middle School
2010-2011 Winter Concert

by Mike on January 3, 2011 in Band News, Concert Band Video

The Hamilton Township Middle School 7th and 8th grade band winter concert was postponed as originally scheduled in December due to inclement weather. The rescheduled event was performed after Christmas on Wednesday January 5, 2011 at 7:00 PM.   As Mr. Frazier humorously pointed out before the concert started, this performance is extremely early for the 2011 holiday season.  The audience was amused by Mr. Frazier’s introduction to a well performed show.  The 7th and 8th grade musicians were fantastic.

Check them out:
