The 64th annual Pops Concert was held Sunday at Fort Atkinson High School.
The concert featured all grade 4-12 band students in the School District of Fort Atkinson and their music teachers, Andrea Haffelder, Sam Fettig and Justin Steger.
All of the bands were separated on the gymnasium floor, with audience members on bleachers and chairs. Each band and emsemble performed separately and, twice, together, while the Fort Atkinson Middle School musicians also presented a combined song.
The Fort Atkinson Band Boosters held a 50-50 raffle and basket raffle, as well as sold refreshments.
