HOIC Band

Congratulations to all of our students who participated in the HOIC Honor Band. A special congratualations to Mark, Danny, Jessie, and Andrew for being principal players in their respective sections.

It was a long day of rehearsals, but it's a great experience to perform in such a great space. The Bloomington Center for Performing Arts provides a great experience for our musicians since they spend most of their concerts in a gym.

Thanks to all the directors, HOI Principals, BCPA Staff, and parents for making this happen for our students!

Even though it was a dark and stormy night the Chamberworks Concert was quite a hit. A small audience joined us for about an hour of small ensemble music.
