Congratulations to the following students who auditioned on Saturday, November 10th and were selected to the 1A-4A Northeast Kansas Music Educators Association (NEKMEA) District Honor Band.  We set a school record with 8 students making the band, and 1 alternate.  They will meet and rehearse ONCE with about 70 other high school musicians from NE Kansas at Topeka-Seaman High School on Saturday, December 1st, giving a concert that afternoon at 2:00 PM.

Making the District Honor band also allows them to audition on Saturday, January 5th at Salina-Lakewood Middle School for a spot in the 1A-4A All-State Band that performs on February 23rd, 2019 at the Century II Performing Arts Center in Wichita.
