Lewisburg Bands were well represented at the PMEA Conference at the Kalahari Convention Center this week! First, a HUGE congratulations to Henry, Ella, and Tyson for their participation in the All-State Concert Band and Orchestras!! These students each worked incredibly hard to get here and they truly earned their spots. There aren't words to accurately describe how amazing these ensembles sounded. The BEST of the BEST all together on one stage!

Dragon alums were there too! Katie Gruver ('22) performed with the Susquehanna University Percussion Ensemble; Jonah Carney ('23) and Gretta Hoffman-Aho ('21), both future music educators, performed with the PSU Concert Choir; Rachel Henry ('17) presented a session on Urban Learners; and Dr. Jenny Neff ('86) was a panelist for the Women Band Directors Community.

Green and White Forever!

(Stay-tuned for another post this week celebrating all of our LAHS All-State musicians!)
