IGSMA State Festival

Congratulations to the McCracken Middle School Symphonic Band for their wonderful performance at the 2010 IGSMA State Festival yesterday hosted by Troy Middle School.

This also marks the 8th time that the Symphonic Band has been selected as an “honors ensemble” at the State Festival…a remarkable streak of being selected every year we have participated!

Congratulations as well to the 7th Grade Choir and 8th Grade Swing Choir for amazing performances with the 7th Grade Choir being selected as an honors group. McCracken Middle School was certainly represented very well this weekend!
