Several Liberty Park Middle School students were selected for the annual Samford Honor Band held Jan. 9-11. To participate, students received a recommendation from LPMS band director Jody Bryant. For the audition, students played five major scales and arpeggios, played a prepared piece and had to sight read. The Samford Middle School Honor Band was segmented into Red and Blue bands.
Blue Band: Lily Hwang, second-chair clarinet; Bess Gordon, fifth-chair French horn
Red Band: Chandler Clemmons, second-chair trumpet; Kaitlyn Munger, ninth-chair trumpet; Jonathan Wyatt, first-chair trombone; Rachel Brooks, sixth-chair clarinet; Junseo Hwang, second-chair oboe; Nate Gordon, fourth-chair baritone.
In addition, four students were selected to participate in the District Honor Band. In April, they will perform a concert at Homewood High School.
District Honor Band: Lily Hwang, clarinet; Alison Levine, clarinet; Bess Gordon, French horn; Andrew Perino, percussion.
