Congratulations to 9th Grade All State Band Members

Congratulations to Johnston Middle School 9th grade band students Rachel Li, flute,  and Shana Hudson, bass clarinet, on their selection to the Iowa All State Band.  Membership in an All State ensemble is the highest honor a high school music student can achieve in the state of Iowa.  Only 17% of those students who audition are accepted.  Membership is an honor at any age, but it is a particularly impressive achievement for freshmen, as the audition pool includes students in grades 9 - 12. 

Congratulations as well to 9th grade alto sax player Tim Zuo; Tim was selected as an alternate for the All State Band.   Rachel and Shana will join JHS All State Band members Vivian Wu, Lauren Stephens, Karen Chen, Sam Altier, Ben Parsons, Brian Cherrier, Duncan Sinclair, and Blake Wilson at the All State Music Festival in Ames on November 17 – 19.
