Island Students Join in All-City Music Concert

The annual Alameda All-City Music Concert took place Friday, March 10, at the Alameda High School gymnasium.

This concert showcased the classical music talents of the band and orchestra students from all over the Island. Hundreds of students from Wood Middle School, Lincoln Middle School, the Academy of Alameda, Encinal Junior/Senior High School, and Alameda High School packed the gym to perform in front of family, friends and fellow students.

For many years now the Alameda music teachers have teamed together to present this amazing celebration of music across the Island. All the musicians and directors practiced for many hours to make this event happen.

Julie Larson at Wood Middle School, Claire Phillips, interim sub for music director Bailey Hardman at the Academy of Alameda, Jesse Russell at Lincoln Middle School, Tyra Ingram Cable at Alameda High School, and Mitchell Wagner at Encinal Junior/Senior High School led their students at the concert.
