SC Concert Band and the South Kansas Symphony at KMEA

The SC Concert Band and the South Kansas Symphony were both chosen to perform at the KMEA ISW Conference.  This was the first time instrumental ensembles from Southwestern College performed at KMEA. The Symphony performed on Thursday afternoon in a nicely filled hall.  The Concert Band performed on Friday morning.  This was a great honor for both ensembles.

The SC Accapella Choir took a two day tour during February.  The choir first went to Kingfisher, Oklahoma and performed at a church.  The next day, they visited the Scottish Rite Temple in Guthrie, Oklahoma before performing for a high school class.  They then left for Emporia where they performed for the 1st Methodist Church.  The choir ended their tour with a home performance in Winfield that Saturday.
