ALACHUA ‒ A.L. Mebane Middle School’s Concert Band performed for the City of Alachua Commission as a part of the most recent Commission meeting, held on Monday, Feb. 12, 2024.

The Commission Chambers were filled with students, their instruments, proud parents and other members of the community.

Students in the band performed Imperium, a concert band piece composed by Michael Sweeney. Music filled the room as pictures were taken and videos were recorded by the audience. It was a memorable experience for all in attendance.

“Our Commission has a strong commitment to cultural arts in our community,” said Alachua City Manager Mike DaRoza. “It is especially nice to have the opportunity for students from our community schools to perform during our Commission meetings.”  

Jacqueline Holbrook, Director of A.L. Mebane Middle School’s band, was elated to showcase her students’ talent and hard work. “Thank you so much,” Holbrook said. “It was a privilege to play for you all.”
