Concert Ensembles
2017-2018 Ensemble Audition Results Listening to our annual ensemble auditions each spring is one of my favorite events because it is so exciting to hear how much each of our auditioning students has grown over the course of a year. This year was certainly par for the course, and I had the opportunity to hear a great deal of growth from many of our SCHS Band students. Bravo to ALL who took the opportunity to audition- it was a pleasure to hear you play! You should be proud of your effort! Results for the 2017-2018 auditions will be posted in the band room by the end of the day on Friday, April 28th. If anyone would like to discuss the results, including any areas of strength/weakness, please feel free to ask Mrs. Staniszewski.
