Students from LHS recently participated in a music festival at Minot State University. Kaitlin Landman (clarinet) and Steffani Johnston (saxophone) performed as part of the concert band for this year's festival, which was held on November 5th and 6th.
The two day festival features the talents of high school students from around the state of North Dakota, who auditioned to be part of the group. To audition, each student must submit a recording of their playing skills as featured in a prepared solo and selected scales. Each year, hundreds of students audition and a relative few are chosen to participate. The results are outstanding.
After hours of rehearsal time over the two days, students perform a final concert for parents and the general public. This year three choirs and one concert band performed in the final concert. There were a wide variety of selections from classical, to contemporary, to patriotic, and a full house of concert-goers were appropriately impressed.
Congratulations to Kaitlin and Steffani for their accomplishments in being selected to be part of this year's Northwest Festival of Music.
