Congratulations to La Grande High School musicians on their outstanding achievements!
Ben Hudson, sophomore horn player, has earned one of the highest honors in music by being selected to perform in the Premier Oregon All-State Orchestra at the OMEA Conference in Eugene, January 14–17.
This is Ben’s first time auditioning for All-State, making this accomplishment even more impressive! Students are selected through a blind audition process, with recordings reviewed to identify the top 100 high school musicians in Oregon. From that group, only a select number of wind players are chosen for the orchestra. Ben is among the top five students in the state selected for this prestigious honor!
In addition, congratulations to Amy Grigg, senior percussionist; Reid Meinhard, senior clarinetist; and Ben Hudson, sophomore horn player, on their selection to perform at the Western International Band Clinic in Seattle, Washington, November 20–23.
For all three musicians, this marks their first time auditioning for this honor. Preparing music at such a high level requires tremendous dedication, discipline, and commitment, along with the ability to perform and submit a recording for evaluation.
We are incredibly proud of these talented students and the hard work they have put into their musical accomplishments. La Grande High School will be proudly represented at both of these prestigious events. Congratulations!
