The following students were selected by the Connecticut Music Educators Association to participate in the Northern Regional Honor Band:
Tom deRito (Alto Sax)
James Kissane (Trumpet)
Patrick Lomaglio (Trombone)
Ian Tamburini (Clarinet)
Natalie VonAchen (Bassoon)
All New England Honor Band:
Lauren Erickson (Alto Sax), James Kissane (Trumpet)

The candidates spend 6 months preparing solos, scales, and arpeggios for an audition that only lasts 10 minutes!  In many cases, they are auditioning against scores of other students for a place in the group.   

Congratulations to Lauren Erickson (Alto Sax) and James Kissane (Trumpet) for their selection and participation in the All New England Honor Band.   Lauren and James recently traveled to Plymouth, New Hampshire to join New England's best musicians for a day-long clinic and concert.
