On Thursday March 22, the Pinole Valley symphonic band hosted their annual senior conducting concert. This performance differs from the rest because it was organized by the seniors, who preformed various songs, and had the honor to conduct their own pieces! A huge thanks to De Anza High School for allowing us to use their beautiful theater.

The concert was a huge success. Many teachers came to watch like Mr. Hein, Ms. Schurr, Ms. Ohlson, Mr. O’Shea and Ms. Townsend and the crowd was constantly laughing at the jokes told by Mr. Radkiewicz. The concert had a total of 18 songs which were all beautifully performed.
