The music program was spotlighted during the Knox Community School Board’s recent meeting.

Band Director Craige Phipps talked to the board about the successful season of the winter drumline, the winter guard and the groups who participated in state competitions this year.

Superintendent A.J. Gappa explained that the band got to go down to Disney World during spring break to play some music.

“After working with a professional musician for just about 45 minutes and doing some sight-reading, they played the music to the Disney cartoon Tarzan. They played the actual soundtrack. The board enjoyed watching that cartoon. It was kind of neat!” Gappa exclaimed.
