The Mount Pleasant Community School District’s music department will be showcasing their bands tonight at the annual All Bands Night at 7:00 pm at Mapleleaf Athletic Complex. Featured will be the 5^th grade band, 6^th grade marching band, 7^th & 8^th grade marching band and the high school Panther Marching Band. This will be the final opportunity to see the high school band  perform their show “The Raven”, though the middle school marching bands will perform one last time at Friday’s home football game.

The music boosters will be selling food at the concession stand starting at 5:30 pm as a fundraiser to go toward the purchase of new high school band uniforms.

In addition to sending out a big Thank you to Dave Schneider, KILJ would also like to acknowledge the following businesses for the great support of the music program and our coverage on KILJ……Your Dream Home Furniture & Floors, 5 Star Community Credit Union, Smith Plumbing and Heating, Northeast Animal Hospital and Kimzey Funeral Home.

In the interest of keeping Henry County residents informed, the Henry County Sheriff’s office has requested KILJ post the daily jail count. During the jail referendum campaign it was publicized that the jail would be able to house additional inmates from surrounding counties and this would generate revenue for Henry County.

The Panther Marching Band was among 17 bands from an eight county area of District 8 to perform for a rating in the Iowa High School Music Association’s Marching Band Festival at Brady Street Stadium in Davenport on Saturday. Mount Pleasant received it’s 34th #1 rating in a row! Southeast Iowa was well represented….Central Lee, Ft. Madison, Mediapolis, Wapello and Keokuk all received #1 ratings.

The north half of Iowa had the contest last weekend and the southern half this Saturday. The state is divided into 8 districts, with the southern 4 going this Saturday. Not all schools choose to participate in the State Festival.

Thank you to Dave Schneider for his reporting from Davenport.
