Family and friends were recently able to get a sample of what USD 234 music students have been practicing. On Monday night, orchestra students from the Fort Scott High School and Middle School presented their concert under the direction of Carson Felt.

On Tuesday night, it was the Fort Scott Middle School choir students' turn, with a "pre-contest concert." The show was under the direction of Choral Director Meredith Reid with assistance from Stephanie Cummings. Piano accompanist was Jara Martin.
