Last month a group of AHS Band students had the opportunity to spend a weekend on the campus of Kansas State University for the annual KSU Concert Band Clinic! These students were selected out of hundreds of nominations of students from across the state and placed into one of six honor bands. They rehearsed and performed all weekend with excellent clinicians, KSU Faculty, and KSU Students. It was a fantastic weekend and we're greatful to be able to participate in such an event!
We also want also shout out Abi Wegerer and Josie Myers. When students arrive at the event, they audition to be placed in one of the 6 honor bands, and Abi was placed into the top band! At the conclusion of the event, a few students from each band are also given awards for their leadership and musicianship, and the award comes with a scholarship towards participating in the band at K-State or a discount to one of their summer music camps. Josie was one of the recipients of these awards!
It was a great weekend of learning, performing, and fellowship. We're already looking forward to next year's CBC!
