It was not a typical Tuesday evening earlier this week for nine local band and chorus students. The group of nine from Statesboro and Southeast Bulloch high schools performed in concert at Statesboro High with one of the most respected bands in the world - the United States Army Field Band and Soldiers Chorus. "When we were playing ‘Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy,' the horns reached heights I had never heard before," said Mitchell Sutcliffe, a trumpet player with the Statesboro High band.
