HS-Loren B. Wright Band Festival

The Eighth Annual Loren B Wright Memorial Showcase of Bands will be held at 5 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 8, at Kane High School. This event is held to raise money for the Loren B Wright Memorial Scholarship Fund and the Kane Area Music Boosters.
Twelve bands will be featured in this years show. They are Eisenhower, Youngsville, Warren, Elk County Catholic, Otto Eldred, Smethport, Port Allegany, Johnsonburg, Ridgway, Cameron County, St Marys and Kane. This is an exhibition show and no judging takes place. This  gives competing bands a chance to perform their show in front of an audience prior to an actual competition. It also allows non competing bands to perform their shows in front of a non football audience. Over 1000 students will be participating in this event.

 The Grey Knights Drum and Bugle Corps from Johnsonburg will perform after all the bands. Last years performance was their first and they were an enjoyment to watch.
The show will start at 5 p.m. with the National Anthem. The first band will take the field at 5:15. Everyone is invited. There is an admission. Refreshments, a basket raffle, Buffalo Bills Ticket raffle and 50/50s will be available.
The show will be held in the auditorium if the rain continues.
