(Article by Riley Groves, SPS Communications/Marketing Intern) -- Sapulpa Bands hosted the 2022 Coronation Concert on Tuesday, March 8, at Sapulpa High School's W.H. Shaw Auditorium.

The night and annual concert delivered great music. The 2022 Band King and Queen, seniors Alex White and Taylor Edmondson, were crowned, and the Band Court was recognized.

The Sapulpa High School Concert Band performed two pieces, "Starlight" and "March of the Trolls," and Jazz Band performed four musical numbers, including "That's How We Roll," "Turbo Rock," "So Danco Samba" and "Crazy Rhythm."

 “Starlight” by David Gorham paid homage to the Starlight Concert Band Series directed by Sapulpa’s very own George Brite during the 1980s. The piece was dedicated to Brite, who was Sapulpa’s Band Director from 1953 to 1987. Under his direction, the band played at many prestigious events including the 1985 inauguration of President Ronald Reagan.
