Last Tuesday, the Natchitoches Central High School concert band traveled to Baton Rouge for the LSU Concert Band Pre-fest. While at LSU, the students got to perform for a full adjudicator panel, participate in a clinic on their music from the head director of Tiger Band Dr. Kelvin Jones, participate in an instrument repair masterclass hosted by LSU's instrument repair technician Mr. Steve Koivisto, listen to other great high school concert bands, and do a good bit of sightseeing!

Several weeks ago, our very own Adriana Hernandez (flute) performed in the LMEA District II Honor Band. She was selected 2nd chair flute for the top band. The clinician for her honor band was Dr. Chris Heidenreich from Louisiana Tech University . Adriana had to go through an audition process against several students across the parish. She had an amazing performance and enjoyed her time there!
