On Wednesday, Douglas County Commissioners Tim Freeman, Tom Kress and Chris Boice hosted their 4th annual Music at the Courthouse concert series.

A county release said the event featured nine county music programs in celebration of National Music in our Schools Month. The commissioners issued a proclamation prior to the first performance, declaring the month of March as Music in Our Schools Month in Douglas County.

A copy of the proclamation was presented to each of the schools attending, prior to their performance.

176 local students, aged twelve to eighteen, participated in the event. The three-hour series of concerts featured performances from the Glide High School Concert Band and Concert Choir, North Douglas High School Band, Fremont Middle School Choir and Chamber Ensemble, Riddle Middle School and Riddle High School bands, Lincoln Middle School Choir, and Sutherlin High School Choir.

A copy of the proclamation presentation, as well as recordings of the live performances from all the groups can be found on the county government Facebook page:
