Each year the McKeesport Groundhog Festival Concert features a guest conductor. For 2026, Chad Heiny of Indiana University of PA was the guest conductor, working with student band members from McKeesport Area High School, Founders ' Hall Middle School, as well as guest music students from West Mifflin and Clairton High Schools.
Snow delays and busy schedules bumped the free winter concert back to February 10 this year, but the audience left feeling better after the winter doldrums had kept so many home for so long.
On March 3, the music students worked together to perform for the annual Music in Our Schools presentation. Singing and instrumental music were part of the evening, offering parents of middle and high school students an opportunity to see how well their students can perform.
The overall school music programs provide much to the students’ development in academics as well and the district is pleased to offer the various groups.
