Last Thursday, the ZHS Symphonic Band participated in the FBA State Concert MPA held at the University of South Florida. After listening to the band’s performance, the adjudicators awarded the group straight “Superior” ratings !  The only other time that ZHS received a superior rating was in 1961, under the direction of John TV Clark – that was 53 years ago !

 

Congratulations to all of those hard working band students !
