The Exeter-Milligan music department recently
participated in the Crossroads Conference Honor Band and Honor Choir at Doane
College on Monday, March 21st. The membership of both groups was
selected based on a recorded audition, judged by teachers in the Crossroads
Conference. The Honor Choir was directed by Mr. Lynn Hall, the choir
director at Heartland Community Schools in Henderson. The Honor Band was
directed by Dr. Jay Gilbert, the band director at Doane College. Students went
on a college tour and participated in sectional rehearsals when their large
group was not performing. Several band students received medals for being
selected to a first chair part. They were: Ella Wilkins, first flute; Ashley
Benorden, first clarinet; Kaitlyn Vavra, second clarinet; Trystan Brandt, first
trumpet; Caitlin Murphy, first French horn; Haylee Sheffield, fourth French
horn; and Nick Hayek, second trombone. Ashley Benorden received a medal
in the Honor Choir for being one of the top five altos selected.
