The Samford Honor Band gathered on campus this past Thursday, Friday, and Saturday for three days of fun and music.
Jim Smisek, Director of band and instrumental studies, invited 600 middle and high school students to participate in this year’s program. The event has shown incredible growth over the years—they started with 52 student musicians six years ago.
