Centreville High School Wildcat Band’s 4th Annual Bandemonium! – an outdoor music festival under the stars – will take place on Friday, May 16th at 6:30PM in the school’s bus loop. The Centreville High School Winterguard, JazzCats, Percussion Ensembles, Chamber Ensembles, Concert Band, Symphonic Band and Wind Ensemble will dazzle audiences with a variety of great music!
Food trucks El Jefe Wood Fired Pizza, KBBQ Box, Two Smooth Dudes, Kona Ice and Adam's Delights Ice Cream will be onsite for guests to purchase food to enjoy while the musicians entertain the crowd. From young to old, there will be something for everyone! Audience members will have the option to get their faces painted, have balloon animals made for them, get Wildcat pawprint tattoos and even dance to some swingin’ jazz tunes!
This year’s Bandemonium! theme is “A NIGHT OF TOONS” - each band will perform a selection of cartoon music! 500 folding chairs will be available for guests to sit in but guests are also encouraged to bring picnic blankets and camping chairs. In case of rain, the concert will be moved indoors into the cafeteria.
“As always, this is a free, family-friendly event that we hope will bring in many guests from the Centreville community,” says Band Director Melissa Hall. “We invite our young audience members to dress as their favorite character from Wicked (the band will play a medley of selections from the hit musical and movie, among many others songs) or their favorite cartoon character (the bands will feature music from The Simpsons and Looney Tunes.”
“Come celebrate another tremendous year of music making along with the Centreville High School Wildcat Band family. We hope to see everyone there!”
