On Tuesday, March 12, 2019, students, families, and faculty gathered in the Watertown High School gym for the annual district-wide musical showcase, Bandarama. The event has been held for many years, and it is the only time when all of the student musicians in all five five schools come together for one big concert. It is a very special event as it brings the community together for a grand performance.
