Have you heard the band around town this past week?!? The Mesick High School Band completed their 2023 band camp. The students worked hard and had fun while learning their music and drill for our upcoming marching season - culminating tonight with a performance of our show for family and friends on the football field. We look forward to performing for the community once again this upcoming year!
