Three Make All-State Band For 2019

I'm extremely excited to announce that Rossville has three 2019 All-State Members, and one alternate! They are Camille Hoffelt, 1st Chair Flute; Taylor Morelli, 5th Chair Clarinet; and Ava Stipp, 16th Chair Clarinet. Meagan Huston was selected as the first alternate on Clarinet.

This is a special year, because not only is this the most students (3) who have made the State Band from Rossville in one year, but Ava Stipp (Senior) is the again making Rossville history. Currently, students are only allowed to audition for All-State Band as a 10th, 11th, and 12th grade student. As a sophomore, in the 2015-2016 school-year, Ava was selected to the All-State Band, the first from Rossville in 20 years! She made it again as a Junior, the first two-time All-State member in Rossville history, and has now has joined the very impressive ranks of 3-year All-State members - the FIRST in Rossville history!

The All-State Band will rehearse Thursday, February 21st through Saturday, February 23rd in Wichita, KS during the Kansas Music Educators Association (KMEA) State-wide convention. They will cap off their weekend with a performance at Century II Performing Arts Center in Wichita on Saturday, February 23rd at 1:00 PM.
