MPHS students named to All-Region Jazz Band

Two members of the Mount Pleasant High School Jazz Band were named to the All-Region Jazz Band after auditions at Pine Tree High School on Thursday, September 20. In order to audition, students had to prepare three technical pieces in the jazz style. Having only a few short weeks to prepare, each piece required a high level of skill, as well as a mastery of the jazz style.

Those named to the All-Region Jazz Band include juniors Zoë Newman (2nd chair Alto Saxophone) and Orion Senence (3rd chair Trumpet).

“I’m extremely proud of each student that auditioned,” said MPHS Jazz Band Director, Jamey Sterrett. “Their hard work, and dedication to excellence continues to set them apart from all others. I’m truly honored to assist them on their musical journey.”
