SV Instrumentalists excel at PMEA Festival
Fifteen instrumentalists from Seneca Valley participated in the Pennsylvania Music Educators Association (PMEA) District Band Festival at Greenville High School on Jan. 10-11.
Students selected were Sarah Kochis, Arielle Meltzer and Hanna Behr on clarinet; Mitch Topf on bass clarinet; Julia Scanlan on alto saxophone; Zach DeDionisio on tenor saxophone; Becca Danik on baritone saxophone; Mitch Weaver and Adam Johanknecht on trumpet; Lauren Agnello on French Horn; Aaron Jackson and Austin Treu on euphonium; Seb Demetter and Katy Kolor on trombone; and Brendan Kennelty on percussion.
Based on the individual student’s audition results at District Band, all 15 students will be moving on to the PMEA Regional Band Festival to be held in February at Hickory High School in Hermitage, PA.
“Musical excellence for all students has long been the tradition of the Seneca Valley Instrumental Music program and these students represent a continuation of that tradition,” said Sara Snyder, secondary music teacher.
Instrumental teachers on the secondary campus are Varden Armstrong, Bob Babick, Sam Eisenreich and Ms. Snyder.
