The only middle school band to perform, Andersen received outstanding reviews from the college band directors and military band directors. Shouts of Bravo and a standing ovation greeted the band at the end of the performance. Students were excited and parents were overwhelmed at the level of performance by middle school students. From one judge: Were this not designated on your sheet as a middle school band I would have assumed that this was a well-trained high school unit. Bravo!!
