Sarah Whitmore Selected to Honor Band
The Northwest District KMEA Mini-convention II was held at Fort
Hays State University on December 5. Musicians from the 22 county
Northwest Kansas district submitted audition CD’s from which the
top instrumentalists were selected for the High School Honor Band.
Sarah Whitmore, freshman from SFCHS, was selected to play 8th chair
flute.
Sarah spent several weeks prior to the convention practicing and
perfecting the music for the honor band. She traveled to Hays on
December 5 for all-day rehearsals followed by a public concert at
Fort Hays State University Beach Schmidt Performing Arts Center in
the afternoon.
The Honor Band was under the direction of Ray James, Director of
Bands and Assistant Professor of Instrumental Music Education and
Low Brass Studies at Baker University.
Congratulations Sarah!
