On Saturday, January 18th, four students from MPA participated in the South Eastern Minnesota Band Directors Association 6-8 and 9-10 Honor Bands. Pictured are John Townsend – euphonium, Lukas Lindgren – percussion, Kelly Myers – trumpet, and Alex Esch – alto sax. John and Lukas participated in the 9-10 Honor Band, and Kelly and Alex were members of the 6-8 Honor Band. The students rehearsed all day under a guest conductor with other talented students from the southeast corner of the state. They then presented a concert that afternoon at Century High School in Rochester. The students had a great time and represented MPA well!
