Petersburg Pilot -

Juneau's Floyd Dryden Middle School 8th grade band will perform Friday afternoon with the Mitkof Middle School band.

Petersburg music teacher Matt Lenhard said this is the first time the school has visited Petersburg for such an event. They've been planning a joint performance since last week.

"We threw some titles back and forth and took a look at scores and the strengths of our bands and came up with two titles," Lenhard said. "It's the first time its been done here in Petersburg since I've been here."

Lenhard said it's a great opportunity for the middle schoolers to establish friendships...
