Is it still funny to see somebody get a pie in the face? Or, is that just an outdated ol’ slapstick routine? The Sixth, Seventh, and Eighth Grade Bands of Prairie River Middle School will be presenting their final band concert, “Everything’s Better with Pie,” on Thursday, May 15, at 7:30 p.m. in the school’s auditorium. There will be traditional marches, Latin music, blues, folk songs, tone poems, movie themes, pop music, ballads, rock, and even an “adventure” or two.
Due to students reaching a fundraiser goal, you will get to see band directors receive a pie in the face.
Traditionally, the spring concert has been a scholarship concert, meaning there will be an admission charge to this concert. Admission for this concert will be $2 for adults, $1 for students/senior citizens, and family tickets are available for $5. Family tickets must be purchased in advance. All tickets are available in advance through PRMS band students or the PRMS band office. Proceeds go towards providing students with scholarships for summer music camps and summer music lessons. 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.
