Three students from the Steller band auditioned for the 2017 Aurora Music Festival in Valdez, AK.  They are Sebastien Libbrecht on trumpet, Erica Stryker on trumpet, and Kohlby Vierthalr on baritone and trombone. All of them were accepted.  Kolhby made the Honor Band with both baritone and trombone, and he chose the baritone.  “This is the first year that we participate for the Aurora Music Festival”, said Mr. Toba. “Sending three Honor Band students is a great start.  I am so proud of their accomplishment and commitment.”  The Steller band students who did not audition for the Honor Band will get to play the Mass Band instead during the music festival.  It will be from Thursday, April 20 through Saturday, April 22.
