For the first time ever, Kearny High School proudly hosted the Band-Aid Festival, a unique and enriching event designed to support and elevate high school band programs through constructive feedback from a professional adjudicator. This year’s adjudicator was none other than world renowned composer Patrick Burns, who brought his expertise and passion to the stage, offering invaluable insights to both students and directors alike.
The festival featured performances from West New York Memorial High School, Weehawken High School, North Arlington High School, and our very own Kearny High School Band. Each ensemble presented a piece to a live audience, including members of the Kearny community, followed by a 20-minute clinic session with Mr. Burns. What made this festival especially engaging was Mr. Burns' use of a wireless microphone during the clinics—allowing the audience to hear his detailed feedback in real time and gain a rare glimpse into the educational process behind each performance.
Adding to the spirit of the day, the Kearny Band Parents hosted a wonderful concession stand, ensuring that all students were well-fed and energized throughout the event. Their support and hospitality played a key role in making the festival a success.
The Band Aid Festival was created not only to celebrate musical talent but also to shine a light on the dedication and hard work that band directors and students pour into preparing their pieces. It was a day filled with music, learning, and community, and it marked an exciting new tradition for Kearny High School!
