Heights Middle School To Perform At Indians Game

CLEVELAND HEIGHTS, OH — The Heights Middle School Orchestra will perform the National Anthem at the May 1 Cleveland Indians game, the school district announced. This is the second time that students from the Cleveland Heights-University Heights School district will perform for Tribe fans at Progressive Field.

The orchestra submitted an audition tape in January to the Indians, hoping to be added to the 2018 schedule. The district got notification recently that the band would be invited back to perform the National Anthem.

The May 1 game will start at 6:10 p.m. and will see the Indians square off with the Texas Rangers. The Heights Middle School Orchestra will open the second of a three-game home stand against the Rangers.

The district also announced some other notable performance dates for the district band. Some orchestra and band students will be performing at the Noble Road Library in preparation for the Greater Cleveland Solo and Ensemble. Students were hand-picked for the Feb. 24 performance. That show will start at 3 p.m. A follow-up warm-up performance will be held at the University Heights Library on Feb. 25 at 3 p.m.

Finally, on March 3, 2018 Orchestra and Band students, in grades 6 through 8, will take part in the Greater Cleveland Solo and Ensemble Contest hosted by Hathaway-Brown.
