On Tuesday, Nov. 13, twenty Sanborn Central and Woonsocket students performed in the Region V Junior High Music Festival in Platte. Eleven students took part in the choir portion and nine participated in the band portion.

The music for the festival is sent to the participating schools a few weeks in advance for the participants to practice. The choir instructor and the band instructor told the students to let the teachers know if they were interested in going to the festival, and the teachers submitted the names of those who were planning on attending, if the students met the criteria needed to participate.
