Dartmouth Symphonic Band Banquet

At the end of the Dartmouth Middle School's school year, the Symphonic Band held a final banquet to celebrate all of the band's accomplishments.

The banquet was supposed to start at 7:00pm, so we arrived at 6:30 to wait in line. The banquet was really created a bit later. We stood in line for a catered dinner (Alex sat separately with his friends). After eating a good dinner,  Mr. Sam Neipp showed us a slide show and played some of the band's performances from the recent Disney Trip.


Mr. Neipp kept a diary and shared some memorable entries about his music students, i.e., what he thought of each student, who could join the Symphonic Band, etc. It was touching and moving. He also gave out awards for the best new band member, etc.


The food at the banquet was surprisingly delicious, and we especially enjoyed the chocolate fountain!


Lots of kids were crying afterward. It was a very memorable and touching event.
