Butler Senior High School’s Art Bernardi Stadium was home to another kind of bash Wednesday, Oct. 4, one that was much more musical than the average football game.
The Butler County Band Festival was Wednesday evening, inviting all of the high school marching bands in the county to showcase their routines to the other bands, as well as the community. Slippery Rock University’s marching band also performed.
The Butler High School Golden Tornado Marching Band hosted the event, as is tradition.
