Monrovia High School Band Takes Off for Carnegie Hall

Last night the Monrovia High School Symphonic Band left for New York CIty and participation in the New York Wind Band Festival. The Festival means the group will be performing Sunday afternoon in Carnegie Hall.
According to Daniel Magallanes only 27 of the band’s 42 members were able to go on the trip for financial reasons, but despite this, he said he feels the group will perform well. They have been practicing and raising funds for the trip and competition for more than a year.
Along with the students and their seven parent chaperones, several families members of the student musicians are also making the trip to support the band.
