Mr. Benton 806.669.4800x1137 john.benton@pampaisd.net Yesterday we had five students attend Area Auditions today in Levelland - Julia Allen, Korbin Cole, Cidnie Goodson, Isaiah Vigil, and Trenton Watson. All students represented us well and we're very proud of all of their hard work, excellence in music, and representation of the band and community.
Of the five students auditioning, three earned a chair in the All State Band! Cidnie Goodson, Julia Allen, and Korbin Cole will be travelling to San Antonio in February to participate in the ATSSB All State Symphonic Band. We're super proud of their achievement - over 10,000 students start the process, and only around 300 earn a place in one of the two bands. It was a great day to be a member of the Pride of Pampa!
