The annual All City Concert is a hallmark event for the Portland Public Schools (PPS) community, scheduled this year for March 18, 2026, at Deering High School. This tradition, which coincides with National Music in Our Schools Month, typically brings together hundreds of talented student musicians from middle and high schools across the district, including Portland, Deering, and Casco Bay High Schools. Attendees can expect a diverse program featuring band, orchestra, and choral ensembles performing everything from classical masterpieces to contemporary arrangements. With the event starting promptly at 4:00 PM in the Deering gymnasium, it serves as a powerful showcase of the district's commitment to arts education and the hard work of amazing educators, such as recent Manilow Music Teacher Award nominee Abby Hutchins.
