Champion D146 Central Middle School Symphonic Band Receives Warm Welcome Home

Check out the celebratory welcome home for the Central Middle School Symphonic Band Friday, May 9.

It was a long day for the District 146 Central Middle School symphonic band.

The group departed at 4 a.m. for the Superstate May 9 competition at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign—and came back touting the title of "champion."

Led by Jason Freeland, the band swept the competition and arrived home to a welcome from friends and family Friday evening, escorted by police and fire.

More info to come, but check out the video of the welcome home!
