This weekend several of our band students participated in the Nebo District Honor Band. Students were nominated based on factors such as exemplary behavior, hard work, and superior musical achievement. It was incredibly competitive to be selected as a nominee.
The Nebo District Honor Band is made up of junior high students from all over the district. Selected students met together for the first time last Friday with one goal in mind: to put together an entire concert in just one day of rehearsal! Students rehearsed from 8:30-3:30 under the conducting of Dr. Shawn Smith, the Wind Ensemble Director at Brigham Young University. Students also participated in clinics specific to their instrument taught by professional musicians and local experts.
On Saturday afternoon, students pulled off a very successful performance at Spanish Fork High School. We are so proud of our participating students: Felicity Snyder, Mary Evans, Preston Southam, Spencer Oliverson, Aarrow Miner, Bryanda Graciano-Nunez, Leo Gonzales, Brennan Pierce, Porter Anderson, Jason Petersen, Aaron Clegg, Braydon Goode, Bryce Deveraux, Addisyn Bawden, Clement Barney, Ajax Blau, and Everett Boyd.
