KINGMAN – Kingman Unified School District #20 is very proud to have had 10 students participate in the Arizona Music Educators Association’s All-State Elementary/Junior High School Honor Band Festival held on March 2, at Mountain View High School in Mesa.
Hundreds of Arizona middle school students vied for placement in the prestigious All-State Sixth, Seventh & Eighth Grade Honor Bands. In December 2023, seventh and eighth grade band students submitted virtual audition recordings of musical excerpts and scales for judging. Adjudicators assessed students’ technical accuracy and artistic expression awarding placement to the highest-ranking musicians for each grade level ensemble. Sixth grade students from across the state were selected through a nomination process.
Along with representatives from Kingman Middle School and White Cliffs Middle School, the annual honor festival showcased the state’s most talented middle school instrumental musicians along with renowned conductors during festival performances in the Mountain View High School’s Performing Arts Center this weekend.
