SBS 2025 Winter Instrumental Music Concert

St. Bernard School was alive with the sound of music as students, families, and staff gathered in the gym on Monday, January 13, for the highly anticipated instrumental music concert. Under the skilled direction of our band teacher, Ms. Brenda Winkler, students in grades 4-8 showcased their musical talents, leaving the audience inspired and proud.

The concert featured performances from both the beginning band and concert band, offering a delightful variety of music that highlighted the hard work and dedication of our young musicians. A standout moment of the evening was the debut of our first-ever symphony, a milestone that added an extra layer of excitement and pride to the event.

Adding to the evening’s significance, GRACE President Kim Desotell was in attendance, joining the many proud parents and family members who filled the gym to cheer on the students. The atmosphere was electric with applause and encouragement as the students’ hours of practice came to fruition in a performance to remember.

Several students also stepped into the spotlight with solos, showcasing their individual talents and bravery. These performances added a personal touch to the evening, allowing the audience to appreciate the unique skills and artistry of each soloist.

The instrumental music concert was a beautiful reminder of the joy and enrichment that music brings to our school community. Ms. Winkler’s leadership and the students’ commitment to their craft were evident throughout the evening, and we are grateful for the support of our families who made the event even more memorable.

Congratulations to all the students who participated in this remarkable evening. Your hard work and passion for music are truly inspiring!
