HOUSTON COUNTY, Ga. — Students played their hearts out at the Houston County School District Band Night.
The event kicked off at 7 p.m. at Freedom Field Tuesday night.
All middle and high school bands countywide performed together. The night began with a rendition of the National Anthem featuring all the bands playing at once.
Families, friends and fans filled the bleachers to watch the performances and cheer on their schools.
Northside High School Band Director Chuck Herron says the event celebrates the hard work of these talented, young musicians.
"At the end of the day, playing an instrument, playing in sports, it's about fun and fellowship, that's what we're here for. We're here to teach kids how to work together, how to be together, and how to enjoy what they're doing, and to think creatively," Herron said.
