Three Central High School students earned recognition at the Missouri All-State Band Auditions. Zach Courtney will perform with the All-State Orchestra at the Missouri Music Educators Conference on January 30, 2016.

About 120 students were selected statewide for All-State Band, 40 wind players for orchestra, and 30 for jazz band, out of the approximately 1500 students who auditioned. All of the students had to be a member of an All-District Band. Central had 27 students who were part of the District Band and were able to audition for the All-State Band.

“These students are outstanding musicians who have demonstrated a great deal of commitment and self-discipline, not to mention talent, in order to play at this level,” said Roy Maxwell, Director of Bands. “They are great ambassadors of Central High School and our community. I am very proud of them.”
