Young musicians from Whitefish Middle School's band and orchestra finished out the year strong at their respective Spring Concerts. The WMS Band Spring Concert on Thursday, May 16th was a jazzy delight of mixed grade ensembles. The WMS Orchestra Spring Concert was on Thursday, May 23rd, and each grade performed separately. "You can see how far they've come since the Fall Concert," said Orchestra Director Summer Boggess.
