Owls Earn All-West Band Honors

Congratulations to the Owl musicians who auditioned for the All-West Tennessee Bands. They performed difficult musical excerpts and scales, and they were required to sight-read in front of a judge who is a professional musician and/or teacher.
“The Owls outperformed many of the 2,000 students at the auditions,” Music Instructor Chris Piecuch said.
 
Combined with the All-West Tennessee Orchestra results, 27 students achieved honor status.
