Joining these students will be junior string bass player Michelle Huey – her audition on Saturday qualified her for the All-State Band as well!!  This year’s repertoire for the Missouri All-State Band calls for one string bass player, and Michelle will serve in that role at the Missouri Music Educators Association in January as well.  Many congratulations to all of these fine musicians from Park Hill South!
