The Pana Junior High Bands and Choir are in full swing and have had a great start to our year! The 7th/8th Grade Choir sang at the 9/11 Remembrance Ceremony; the 7th/8th Grade Bands joined the High School Band on the field for Homecoming, and there are some amazing sounds emanating from the 6th Grade Beginning Band!
