Brigden Public School rocks
February 25, 2023

The elementary school students were getting into Hornbostel’s guitar riffs during the bands version of the Kansas classic Carry On My Wayward Son. Each year, students in the music programs – including the band, choir and drum line – pack up their instruments in a U-Haul and travel to the elementary schools in the region. Jessica McKay, the head of the music department, says it gives the young students a good idea of some of the things they can do once they reach high school.
