On Monday, November 10, Wayland Academy hosted the annual Trailways Honors Band Festival in Lindsay Gymnasium. The festival brought together 105 top student musicians from Trailways Conference schools, including Cambria-Friesland, Central Wisconsin Christian, Green Lake, Lourdes Academy, Markesan, Montello, Oakfield, Princeton, Randolph, and Wayland Academy.
Under the direction of Dr. Philip Klickman, music instructor and band director at St. Norbert College, students spent the day rehearsing selected pieces before performing an evening concert for families and community members.
The festival provided a valuable opportunity for students to collaborate, perform in a large ensemble, and build connections with fellow musicians from across the conference.
