Members of our Willow School bands participated in the annual District Six Honor Band concert at Tulane University. An honor band is a composite ensemble made up of top players from schools in a certain location. The three Honor Bands consist of a challenging audition process for the top 60 players from each region for each respective band. Students who make the District Six Honor Band then have a three-day weekend to prepare the music on Tulane's campus, culminating in a concert on the final day. Congrats to these members of the 6th grade band: Jacob Matthews; Justin Gardere; Henry Sims; August Doussan; Leif Rodning; Liam O'Keefe; Josiah Carter; Louis Ray; Christopher Holcomb; and Nathaniel Larocca-Goldberg. Congrats also to these 7th grade band members: Alanna Meredith; Olin Parker; and Donte Allen. Bravo to High School members: Madoc Schwilke; Porter Noyes; Robert Fritzsche; Kevin Li; Noah Boudreaux; Alexander Dufour; Naomi Hart; and Keagan Doussan.
