 A big thank you to those who submitted auditions to the CASMEC in effort to earn a spot in one of the all state honor bands/orchestra. The audition process is one all students should experience whether it is at the county, region, state, or national level.
Congratulations to Ali Shaikh, 11th grade, French Horn, on earning a seat in the California All State Symphony Orchestra! Several students throughout the state submitted auditions for the all state bands and orchestra, so it is an honor to be one of the selected musicians to play alongside and meet some of the best students and world class conductors at the CASMEC conference held in Fresno, mid February. To those doing the Ventura County Honor Band auditions this coming Wednesday, we hope you have practiced and are prepared to showcase your best efforts. Best of luck to you!  The marching band and color guard season has wrapped up for the fall. As a group, the ensemble finished 9th place overall out of 12 bands with a score of 82.00, which was the highest score they earned this season, and at any championships event in recent years. The percussion was 5th place overall, and the color guard was 6th place overall. All of this was quite an improvement, consider the group was ranked 10th overall on the grid leading into the event, and went on first out of the entire contest. The competitive field is quite tough, and it was an honor to be ranked among the top 12 finalist, out of 22 3A bands in SCSBOA. Several outstanding programs did not qualify for championships this year, and it was an honor to share the playing field with 11 other amazing programs.   |
