Opening Night Concert
The Kelly Walsh Percussion Ensemble The Kelly Walsh Band Program serves around 200 students and consists of a Concert Band, Marching Band, Drumline, volunteer Pep Band, Intermediate Percussion Ensemble, Advanced Percussion Ensemble, as well as three tiered Jazz Ensembles. The KW Band Program auditions over 60 students annually for various honor ensembles and last year had over 70 solo/small ensemble entries in the North Platte District Music Festival. More than any of this – our focus remains on making music and memories – cultivating the energy and relationships brought to life while making music together. The Kelly Walsh Band is a tremendous family that truly loves the friendships and relationships formed in the
music making process. Concert Program:
