Kilmer Music Programs Have a Great Day at Busch Gardens!

Thanks to all involved with our trip this past Friday!

The students had a great time and the trip ran very smoothly – this could not have happened without the support of our chaperones, Kilmer admin and teachers, parents preparing their students for the day, and the students taking responsibility for being prepared and on time throughout the day.

There were 12 performing groups in competition at our site and Kilmer had 5 of the 6 highest scores for the day among them, translating into the following awards based upon performance category:

Percussion Ensemble Category
Kilmer Percussion Ensemble – 1st Place

Concert Band II Category (intermediate level bands from schools)
Kilmer Concert Band – 1st Place
Kilmer Cadet Band – 2nd Place

Concert Band I Category (upper level bands from schools)
Kilmer Symphonic Band – 1st Place and Overall Grand Champion of competition
Kilmer Wind Ensemble – 3rd Place



Thanks again to all who contributed to a fun and successful day for the students!
