It is that time of year again for various festival bands to begin. Most recently Seneca
Valley students auditioned for PMEA District 5 Honors Band at Westminster College. We would like to sincerely congratulate ALL of the students that tried out this year. It takes a tremendous amount of time, effort, and dedication to prepare for honors band. What
you learn by working on the solo and through the audition process is extremely benefi-cial to your musical development.
District 5 is comprised of schools in Butler, Beaver, Lawrence, and Mercer counties.
Approximately 300 students auditioned for a band of 125 players. We are extremely proud to congratulate 46 Seneca Valley students who earned a position in the band. Musical excellence is the goal of the Seneca Valley band program and these
fine musicians are continuing the tradition. We would like to also take this time to encourage other students to get private lessons and consider trying out for next year’s honors band. Set your sights high and go for it!!
Once again, Congratulations to the following students:
