Earlier in the week, the Wiggins band along with bands from Akron, Wray, Holyoke , and many others worked together to put on a concert for family and friends at League band in Sterling. Contrary to what one might think, League band isn’t a competition. Its true purpose is to give musicians from across the Lower Platte area a chance to come together and learn from each other.

                The bands worked extremely hard all throughout the day in an effort to put on as good of a concert as possible. They put in four hours of rehearsal in the morning; then, after a short lunch, they had another four hours of practice before the performance, which began at 6:30.

League band is viewed in a positive light by many of the musicians within the band. “It’s always a great experience because you get to learn about your instrument and you have the opportunity to learn new techniques,” said sophomore Jasmine Springer.
