The Romulus High School bands were awarded an overall score of II, Excellent during a state band festival on Saturday, May 6. The band members faced several challenges during the two weeks prior to the competition, school officials said, with a hectic schedule and student tests.
"We persevered and demonstrated great grit and resilience," the district spokesperson said. "Our students looked very professional in their new blazers, and we received many compliments. Our Romulus Community Schools bands remain a strength of our district and are a reflection of our commitment to the arts. Next year, we will invest over $200,000 toward the expansion of our music program at the elementary levels," he added.
