This would make a great graduation or birthday gift!

Our flute instructor, Jennifer Whitehead, had the opportunity to visit South Panola Junior High to work with the 6th grade band students this past week! Thank you to Jon Young, interim middle school director, for the invitation while our Northwest alumna Carly Lambert is on maternity leave.

It was especially meaningful, as Mrs. Whitehead had the opportunity to teach Carly (trumpet player) flute lessons during her time as a student at Northwest. Carly has done a fantastic job starting these budding flutists, and Mr. Young is doing wonderful things continuing their progress while she is away.

It is always great to see strong music programs and young students excited about learning and making music!

Congratulations to BJHS 8th grader Will Reinemann on being selected for the MS ASBDA Middle School All-State Band! 🎶

Will will travel to Pearl River Community College this May, where he will join other All-State musicians for a multi-day rehearsal experience culminating in a concert.

He was one of only four alto saxophone players chosen from across the state who auditioned—an outstanding accomplishment!

We’re proud of you, Will! 🎷👏
