BHS Students All-District & All-State Band
Three Brevard High School Band students auditioned and were chosen this year to participate in the Western District North Carolina Honor Bands at Western Carolina University. Each student submitted a video audition in which they performed eight major scales, the chromatic scale, and a prepared solo. Band directors, college professors, and other professional musicians judged the audition videos. Students receiving the highest scores were then eligible to audition for the All-State Honors Band. The BHS students who auditioned were:
Freshman, Mya Parlier - 11th Chair Clarinet
Sophomore, Trevor Long - 2nd Chair Tuba
Junior, Brayden Grosvenor - 6th Chair Trombone
Due to his very high score and placement, Trevor Long was eligible to audition against the top 21 freshmen and sophomore tuba players statewide. Based on his audition, Trevor was selected as the 3rd Chair Tuba in the All-State Band and performed on May 1st at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill with 98 of the best high school musicians in the state. “We are so unbelievably proud of Trevor, as well as our All-District Band participants, Mya and Brayden. This is an accomplishment that is extremely challenging during a normal year. With COVID restrictions, virtual auditions, and limited access to musical resources over the past two years, these students certainly went above and beyond!” says Andrew Jimeson, new Director of Bands at Brevard High School.
