DWSA performs in the Monroe Classic: Battle of the Bands
The sounds of percussion and brass instruments filled the Phylicia Rashad Auditorium at Denzel Washington School of the Arts, as DWSA hosted the Monroe Classic: Battle of the Bands on Thursday, October 24, 2024.
The Monroe Classic is a collaboration with Monroe University that brings together bands from several school districts to compete in a “battle” of bands. The DWSA band performed second and were led by Band Director Mansa Gory, who also served as master of ceremonies for the show.
As the band performed, dancers moved through the halls of the auditorium and on stage to complement the music.
Monroe University’s marching band closed out the show with a performance of their own.
