She was also selected to participate in the PMEA District 1 West Band Festival, which will take place at the end of January. The honors band featured students from 35 school districts across Allegheny, Fayette, Greene, Washington and Westmoreland counties. The festival concluded with a concert on Sunday at North Hills Middle School. Congratulations to Dakota for her selection and for an outstanding performance!
