Morton assembly experienced a once in a life time performance from the conductor of the Morton Band,  Mr. Brain Toms.  Mr Toms out- shined and mesmerized  the crowd with his amazing riffs and smooth melodies during the “Star Spangled Banner.”

During Morton assemblies, the National Anthem is sung by a student involved in the choir. On November 18, 2016, Mr. Toms performed the anthem instrumentally for the first time during the Morton Veteran’s Day assembly.  Mr. Toms learned the solo within a week of being notified of his performance; he played it like he’s been practicing a lifetime!  It totally jazzed up the students and faculty.
