On Saturday, February 7, sixteen Everest Middle School students traveled to Holton High School to take part in the annual Holton Honor Band Festival. Students were grouped by experience level and worked with guest conductors, preparing music ahead of time for a full day of learning and performance. This experience gave our musicians the chance to grow their skills, collaborate with peers from other schools, and perform at a high level.

We’re proud of our 6th grade participants: Kyla Tangen, Shilo Keo, Brynn Stirton, Brooke Speer, Michelle George, Henry Woods, Hudson Rice, and Max Selland; and our 7th/8th grade participants: Mya McAfee, Katani Ortiz, Nevaeh Howell, Domonic Clancy, Jarvis Ramirez, Freedom Lowe, Joe Smith, and Avaylia Jelks. Elisabeth Saxton was also selected to participate but was unable to attend. Great job representing Everest Middle School!
