Tri-City United High School’s band and choir hosted the first concert of the 2026-2027 school year on Monday evening, Oct. 19 in the school’s performing arts center.
    It was the first out-of-college concert directing a choir for Lydia Horan, the new high school and grades 5-8 choir director. Horan, as noted in a previous Messenger, graduated this spring from Concordia College in Moorhead.
    Both band and choir have a solid showing in numbers of students this year.
