In early December, students from all over middle Georgia came together to audition for the Georgia Music Educators Association District XI Honor Band. The honor band students (chosen from 22 different counties) met together in a clinic held on February 10-11 at Baldwin County High School. In rehearsals spread over two days, they worked with guest conductors and clinicians to prepare and perform a culminating concert onthatSaturdayafternoon. We are so proud of our county’s band students and the hard work and dedication that they demonstrate!
The students listed below scored high enough in their auditions to earn chairs in the honor band.
