Four Marion High School students have been selected to perform in the Indiana Jazz Educators Association All-District Jazz Honor Band.
The musicians selected are:
Seniors:
- Andrew Hancock, alto saxophone
- Kyliegh Yeakle, percussion
Juniors:
- Justine Peters, trombone
- Jehren Smithley, trumpet
The All-District Jazz Honor Band is a great opportunity and gives students a chance to learn and grow as musicians. To be selected for the IJEA Honor Band, students are recommended by their band director, and must submit applications to be considered for the Honor Band earlier this year. Applications from students across the state were evaluated to select members of this talented group.
Selected musicians were tasked with practicing the musical selections in preparation for the special performance last weekend, when All-District Jazz Honor Band members from around the central Indiana region gathered for special workshops and a public performance at Dekalb High School in Waterloo.
Congratulations to these talented, hard-working students on this great accomplishment! The All-District Jazz Honor Band is a great opportunity and provides a chance to learn and grow as musicians.
