CONWAY — Based on Friday night the future of the Kennett High Band looks bright. The Eagles hosted the inaugural Kennett Band Day, bringing together nearly 45 seventh- and eighth-grade music students from the K.A. Brett School in Tamworth, Josiah Bartlett Elementary School in Bartlett and the Kennett Middle School in Conway Village for a halftime extravaganza at the KHS football game against Gilford-Belmont. The evening was a smashing success as the students after performing with the hometown flock received a standing ovation.

“It was the very best possible outcome,” said Dr. Therese Davison, music director at KHS, who had the idea for the event. “A good time was had by all. The only regret for the middle schoolers was their first high school experience was wrapped in the bitter cold (44 degrees with a frigid wind).”
