Congratulations to Utica High School Bands!

Both the Symphonic Band as well as the Wind Ensemble Band from Utica High School (UHS), under the direction of Michael Sauer, earned 1 st division ratings overall at the Michigan School Band & Orchestra Association (MSBOA) District XVI Band Festival held at Dakota High School on March 12, 2015.

For Festival, each band performed three pieces for adjudication followed by a sight reading. Bands are rated on a scale from 1 to 5 with 1 (or “Superior”) being the highest rating possible.

The UHS instrumental program provides a wonderful opportunity for talented young musicians to excel. In keeping with Utica’s tradition of excellence, students put forth a lot of hard work and effort and are proud of their musical accomplishments. Way to go Chieftains!
