With donated instruments, Finley music program comes to life
FINLEY SCHOOL DISTRICT NEWS RELEASE - The newly-formed Finley School District band program is preparing for its first public performance of the year! Thursday, December 15, the Finley 5th grade band and middle/high school band will perform in the Finley Elementary gymnasium at 1:35 PM and 6:30 PM.

Last year, Finley School District asked for the donation of musical instruments in order to begin building a district band program. Numerous communities responded generously with donations of various musical instruments, and Finley Music Teacher, Mrs. Debbie Dohaniuk, was able to establish a Beginning Band class for all 5th grade students. Now in its second year, the 5th grade band class (which includes nearly 45 students) has been joined by the creation of a new middle/high school band class of roughly the same size.

Both the 5th grade band class and the middle/high school class will perform twice on December 15, once at 1:35 PM and again at 6:30 PM. The performances are open to the public, and all are encouraged to attend at the Finley Elementary School, located at 213504 E. Cougar Rd in Finley.
