As region season comes to an end, please join with me in congratulating the following students that made jazz and classical all-region and honors bands!
I am proud of every one of my students, including those that did not make region or honors bands this year. All around, this was a tremendous semester of growth. Everybody progressed on the saxophone, musically, and developed grit and a harder work ethic.
