    All-State Results

    Discussion 
    Congratulations to the 13 students who have earned positions in this year's Kansas State Ensembles. There are only three schools in the state with more than us! These students earned this honor through auditions held in Salina last weekend. Here are our new All-Staters: Laura Bogner, orchestra piccolo (the only one!) Anna James & Bryn Davis, Band Flutes Nic Camburako, Band Bass Clarinet Jay Selzer, Band Bassoon (1st chair!) Andrea Edwards, Jazz Bari Sax (the only one!) Christopher Petrella, Band trumpet (our 1st freshman to ever make All-State!) Julian Duff, Orchestra trumpet (3rd year all-stater!) Teddy Blair, Band trombone (1st chair!) Matthew Eagleman, Jazz trombone Caden Swanson, trombone alternate Jacob Legg, band tuba (third year all-stater) Alexander Johannes, band mallet percussion (first chair!) All-State will be held in Wichita over three days in late February.

    For those auditioning for All-State

    Discussion 
    This is for those auditioning only. I've tried sending the message out on Skyward but it looks like it might not be working. The district is concerned about the road refreezing tonight so they are looking into leaving tonight. I have very few details at this point but I want you aware this is going on so you are on the lookout for further info and can plan to leave. The hotel will be paid for by the district. You only need to bring money for breakfast and lunch tomorrow and maybe some snacks tonight. Please text me at 913-548-9197 with you cell number so we can move communications to texts and so I know you've seen this message. Also, reach out to others that are auditioning to make sure they've seen this message.

    State really is postponed and tomorrow's games are earlier and barcodes.

    Discussion 
    Well, it was announced this afternoon that State Auditions in Salina were postponed because of the predicted snow storm....but then the powers that be at the state level unpostponed it which I told some students....but now it is cancelled again...so....State Auditions are postoned until next Saturday. All plans are the same just a week later. I know this may create a conflict for some but the weather conditions dictate the change. For members of the jazz band, as announced in class, Friday's games have been moved so that we setup at 3:30 and will be done by 7ish. This, again, is due to the predicted storm. Finally, please, again, if you have a school instrument at home, check to see if it has a barcode. If not, I need you to bring it in so it can get one. The district is requiring this of all school-owned instruments. It only takes a minute but it needs to be done here.
