Congratulations to band students who auditioned and earned top positions in the All-District Band in January and went on to earn positions in the All-State Honors Band in May!!
Abby Li (’22) – flute
Emily Wang (’22) – flute
Auditions were held during CA Spring break on March 3 at Central Davidson MS in Lexington, NC. Public, Private, or Home-schooled students earning top positions in one of six Districts were eligible to audition for the All-State Honors Band. The audition consisted of learning a very challenging solo piece, scales, and sight-reading a piece of music the students had never seen.
Being selected to the All-State Honors Band ranks Abby and Emily among the top 5 middle school flute players out of thousands of band students throughout NC! Bravissimo!!
28 Cary Academy Band students have been selected to the All-State Honors Band since 1998.
