Manson hosted the North Central Washington Middle School Band Festival under the direction of Secondary Music Program Director, Mr. Matt Brown. We had 9 bands from 6 schools including; Chelan, Brewster, Orchard, Omak, and Liberty Bell. Mr. Brown stated that, "the performances are a culmination of months of practice and preparation. The goal of the festival is for us to share the great music that we are creating at our schools and provide each other inspiration to do even greater things!
