Students from Wrenshall were among the region's top high school musicians to gather Oct. 23 at the University of Wisconsin-Superior for a day of advanced skill clinics and performances during the annual Tri-State Honor Bands Festival.
More than 160 Honor Band students spent the day working with noted guest musicians and university faculty, including Dr. Alicia Neal, assistant director of bands at the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities, and Dr. Pamela Bowen Bustos, director of bands at UW-Superior.
The musicians capped the day with a public concert featuring musicians from 26 high schools in Wisconsin, Minnesota and Michigan along with UW-Superior's Symphonic Band. Noted percussionist William Leon from Colombia was the guest soloist for the concert. A recording of the concert can be heard at http://kuws.fm .
