Congratulations to Travis Johnson - junior trombone player, Emily Stanton - junior flute player, and Risa Lisette - freshman tuba player, for being accepted in Pacific Lutheran University's All Northwest High School Honor Band. Students from all over the northwest were nominated for inclusion in one of two honor bands by their directors. Based on those recommendations, Dr. Powell, music director at PLU and his staff chose students nominated from 80+ schools to compete for a place in either the concert band or orchestra. There were over 800 students nominated by their directors including 234 high school seniors.
Students download audition material and perform this material for a panel at PLU on Jan 8. After being seated in one of two musical groups, the students practice for a total of 12 hours over the next two days preparing for a concert performed Saturday night, January 9, 2010.
This is a prestigious honor and one for which each student should be congratulated. Way to go Travis, Emily and Risa!!!
