We will ride buses from Boise High to Centennial. We’ll get to listen to one band to understand
the acoustics of the hall, then we warm up at 10am and perform at 10:30am. After our
performance, we will receive a clinic! We will eat lunch and listen to a couple bands perform
after our clinic, then return to Boise High on buses (we’ll be back by the end of the school day).
You will be excused from class with activity absences that day. Friends and family are
encouraged to attend - there is no ticket fee.

Students are welcome to bring money as concessions will be available. We will
bring only what we need into the game (instrument, music, case) and leave
bags/backpacks in the band room as they do thorough bag checks and have only
an open communal storage area. I will excuse students from class on Friday, so
those will appear as activities absences.
Pre Festival Concert
In advance of our large group festival performance, we are having a shared Pre-Festival
Concert with Borah Bands. That event will be Thursday, February 27th at Borah High
School in their auditorium. The concert will begin at 7pm. Student call time is 6:15pm.
Students should arrive in full concert attire (tux, dress, etc.). You should have your instrument
and music for that event as well. Friends and family are encouraged to attend - there is no
ticket fee. Both percussion ensemble and symphonic band will be performing at this concert!
