Friday, February 10th is the Seminole Band Program's annual Soiree! Held at Anona United Methodist, Soiree is an evening of food, music, and fun that features band students performing the pieces that they will showcase at Solo & Ensemble Festival the following weekend at Gibbs High School. In addition to top notch performances, there will be a buffet dinner served for $10 per person, with proceeds to benefit our own Warhawk Band Program! Band students pay $5 for dinner.
