Honor Band Students
|
Pike County High School seniors Tracy Pearson and Willie White recently attended the Tri-State Honor Band & Conductors Clinic at Florida State University in Tallahassee, Florida. They were among 400 juniors and seniors from Florida, Georgia, and Alabama that were selected to attend the honor band held each year the first weekend in December. Once the students arrive at FSU, they audition for a spot in one of 4 concert bands that each have an assigned guest conductor that is brought in from around the United States. Students are then immersed in rehearsals and master classes for two and half days before the culminating concerts performed by each band on Sunday morning. This is the 5th year that a student(s) has been selected to attend the honor band.
