TOUR DE TUNES: MARATHON HIGH SCHOOL BANDS PRESENT HOLIDAY CONCERT

Marathon High School’s beginning and concert bands had the chance to show off their latest handiwork on Dec. 10, inviting family, friends and the community to an end-of-semester holiday concert. Under the direction of conductor Paul Anderson, the young musicians worked their way through seven pieces – one of which took the audience on a 10-part journey through the beginning band’s foundational stages. Adding a trumpet solo from Joseph Solsburg to the mix, the two bands eventually combined for a finale of Carl Strommen’s “Angels on Parade.” Photos by ROSS SMITH/IslandExposureCo.
