Musicians in training were on display last week when the Memorial Center hosted the Libby Elementary and Middle School bands for the March concerts.

Proud director Patrick Lewis patiently guided his young performers through a selection of songs for the standing-room only crowd on the first day of spring, Thursday, March 20.
