The All-South Honor Band events conclude today; talented high school students from Mississippi and nearby states have been with us since Thursday practicing, performing, and participating in clinics and auditions.
Last night's Wind Ensemble performance was a big hit. Bennett auditorium was filled with honor band students, parents and friends, music lovers, and in particular, former students of William Moody (who served as director of bands here in the 1960s). Moody was honored at the event as a 2009 inductee of the National Band Association Hall of Fame Distinguished conductor.
Today the Honor Band events wrap up with a performance by the participants.
