Saxophone Audition Results

The following 6th grade students have been selected to play Saxophone in band:

Sarah Harkins

Jessica Medina

Peyton Thomas

Thank you to all who auditioned for your patience and your hard work.  Students were chosen based on how they adapted to the instrument, the tone they could produce, practice commitment at home, and musical independence.  We strive to find the BEST fit for each student and for the band program as a whole.  Those students who were selected, please stop by tomorrow morning for further information from Ms. Speight!
