Congratulations to PHN Bands!

It was a great weekend for the PHN Bands.  In addition to being one of fewer than 15 schools in the state to have 3 or more bands qualify for state band festival, the Port Huron Northern was the only school in the state–high school or middle school–to have three or more bands or three or more orchestras all earn first division ratings at state band festival.

Congratulations!

Please join us for Band Festival Performances Friday!
