On Sunday, November 12, three members of
the Springs Valley Blackhawk Brigade joined 91 others from
southwest Indiana schools in the Indiana Band Masters Association
All-District Honor Band.
AJ Apple, Hallie Conrad, and Drew Hill
were selected by a panel of Indiana Bandmasters to participate
in the honor band after being recommended by Luke Aylsworth,
director of bands at Springs Valley.
Apple is a senior saxophone player and
has marched for the Blackhawk Brigade five years. He was
first chair saxophone and made his second appearance in
the honor band.
Conrad was also first chair and made her
second appearance with the band. She is a senior and marched
trumpet for Springs Valley for five years as well.
Hill is a sophomore and plays snare drum
for Springs Valley. Hill is the second percussionist from
Springs Valley to make the Honor Band.
The Honor Band was a combination of the
musicians from the area bands. Some such schools include
Orleans, Jasper, Southridge, and Perry Central. The group
of musicians met on Saturday and began practicing. They
practiced throughout the day and then performed at Loogootee
High School on Sunday. Special guest conductor was Dr. Tim
Yontz.
