November 28, 2011 · 5:21 PM

The Northshore Junior High symphonic band, under the direction of Rick White, was selected to perform at the Washington Music Educators Association (WMEA) State Conference Feb. 17-20 in Yakima.

The 53-member ensemble was chosen by a panel of state music educators. This is the highest honor the state association awards to performing ensembles.

The band will perform at a concert hour and as a demonstration clinic group for delegates from public and private schools, colleges and universities statewide. More than 1,000 music educators from around the state are expected to attend this year’s conference, celebrating 75 years of WMEA support for music education.
