IPFW Honor Band!

This past Saturday, we had 13 East Noble musicians participating in the IPFW Honor Bands. Just the number of EN students participating in the IPFW Honor Bands shows a bright, potential future for our musicians! Congratulations to all whom participated!

I was able to sit in on the middle school rehearsal Friday evening and it was incredible to see a lot of wonderful talent in one room working together to make some awesome music! I tip my hat to these kids because the audition process starts in mid-October to prepare 2 contrasting pieces and the necessary concert scales. From there, the auditions are submitted via e-mail and we wait for results from IPFW by Christmas. I believe the IPFW folks have the hardest job of them all: to select from all the auditions they hear to make the two honor bands happen. THANK YOU to all who auditioned for these two select groups...it is a TOUGH process!

Our guru of photos and videos Doug Nowels recorded a clip of the HS Honor Band's performance from last Saturday. Thank you Doug and thank you again for all who participated and auditioned for the IPFW Honor Bands!
