Middle School Orchestra & Lumberjacks Historical Moment
The Mona Shores Middle School Orchestra played the National Anthem March 11, 2016 at LC Walker Arena before the Muskegon Lumberjacks game. This was a first for the orchestra but also the first time ANY orchestra performed the National Anthem for the Lumberjacks. Tonight the Mona Shores Fiddlers will perform 30 minutes prior to the game and Mona Shores High School Orchestra will perform the National Anthem before the game.
