 Elberta, Foley, and Summerdale Middle Schools combined and participated in the Alabama
Adventure Music Festival May 13-14 in Bessemer, AL. The band spent two days in
Birmingham and Bessemer taking in some of the sights and performing. "The students worked
very hard to prepare for the performance. The most difficult challenge was rehearsing each
band separately and bringing them all together just before the trip," says Elberta director Jimmy
O'Cain.
 Sixth, seventh, and eighth grade student attended the trip. The performing ensemble was
composed of 7th and 8th grade students.  "The trip was a great success, everything ran
smoothly and everyone seemed to have tons of fun," says Jimmy O'Cain. The Ensemble
scored a Gold Medal which the highest marks available in the festival. The Middle School
Bands are under the Direction of Jimmy O'Cain and Bobby Malone.
