PRMS Band Concert

Prairie River Middle School will be presenting their final band concert on Thursday, May 17, from 7-8 p.m. in the school’s auditorium. The concert, entitled “Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, and Something Else,” will feature the world premier performance of “On the Banks of Prairie River.” Nationally renowned composer, Dr. Barry Kopetz, specifically composed this piece for Prairie River Middle School’s Eighth Grade Concert Band. Other music selections performed by the sixth, seventh, and eighth grade bands will include “Magnificent Seven,” “March Bravissimo,” “Go For It,” “Fireflies” - an arrangement of a top Pop hit by the musical group Owl City, and so much more music. Admission for this concert will be $2 for adults, $1 for students/senior citizens, and family tickets are available for $5. Proceeds go towards providing students with scholarships for summer music camps and summer music lessons. However, at present, the Merrill community is still recovering from the economy and tornado. Like last year, Prairie River Middle School students want to help. So, in lieu of cash, admittance to the concert can also be achieved by bringing a non-perishable food item for the Community Food Pantry of Merrill. Family tickets must be purchased in advance. All tickets are available in advance through PRMS band students or the PRMS band office.
