We had a great time at the FMEA Music Conference last week. Ellie Carvajal won 1st chair in All-State High School Honor Band and had a solo, which we really enjoyed! Blake Waligora and Remington Newton were able to attend the Tri-M Student Experience, where they had the opportunity to meet other musicians throughout the state, learn about college music opportunities, attend concerts, and view the exhibit hall. We’re so proud of our students and look forward to next year’s conference! If your student is interested in trying out for All-State next year, audition music will be released in May and auditions are held in September. Private lessons are strongly recommended for auditioning for All-State. If your student is interested in attending the Tri-M Student Experience next year, to be considered, students must be a senior and a Tri-M member who is serious about pursuing music in college. Please email Mrs. Robinson at [email protected] if you have any questions.
All-County Band students will rehearse this week Thursday, Friday and Saturday at Palmetto Ridge High School. The concert is on Saturday at 3:00pm in the PRHS auditorium.  Please review your schedule and prepare your music.
