El Dorado Springs had five students participate in the Southwest Missouri Music Educator's Association Honors Bands. The three ensembles are comprised of area high school students, who happen to be some of the best musicians in Southwest Missouri.
Caleb Alexander and Ethan Roberts were selected, way back in November, to the SWMMEA All-District Honor Band. This honor also made these two students eligible to audition for the Missouri All-State Band. The students rehearsed on Friday, January 6, 5:00 - 9:00 PM and Saturday, January 7, 9:00 AM - 3:30 PM. They then performed a concert on Saturday, January 7 at 5:00 PM, at Joplin High School's Performance Arts Center. Courtney Lame & Tommy Higbie were nominated by Mr. White for the SWMMEA All-Conference Band. This ensemble was established to give the students in our area, another Honor Band to perform with. The students rehearsed on Friday, January 6, 5:00 - 9:00 PM and Saturday, January 7, 9:00 AM - 3:30 PM. They then performed a concert on Saturday, January 7 at 5:00 PM, at Joplin High School's Performance Arts Center. Brice Knoll auditioned and was selected for the SWMMEA All-District 8th Grade Honor Band. Brice the only Eldo student selected for the 7th and 8th Grade ensembles. Brice had a rehearsal on Saturday, January 21, 9:00 AM - 3:30 PM, with a concert performed at 5:00 PM at the Webb City High School's Burton Auditorium. We have so much to proud of for these kids! They worked very hard and I am looking forward to seeing what they continue to do throughout the year! Congratulations, Brice, Courtney, Tommy, Ethan, and Caleb!
