In January over 8,000 band students participated at the regional level for Region and All-State Honor Bands auditions. 1,250 of the top scoring students were invited to audition for a second round of auditions two weeks later. BJA had nine MS and HS band students invited to this second round. Seven of our band students earned high enough scores to be awarded chairs in the 2016 South Carolina All-State Bands.
This past weekend they attended the All-State Honor Band hosted by Furman University’s Music Department. These students participated in two days of rehearsals and ended with a concert at 1:30 p.m. on Sunday afternoon. Congratulations are in order for these students who represented BJA!
