Thirty of Grants Pass School District’s finest student musicians participated in All-State Honor groups at the Oregon Music Educator Association conference in Eugene on January 15-18.

Performance groups included elementary honor choir, as well as band, choir, and orchestra opportunities for both middle school and high school.  Students in the high school groups and middle school choir groups were selected through an audition process.  The remaining students were selected to participate based on teacher recommendation.

Grants Pass had students in each performance group with Highland Elementary, North Middle School, South Middle School, and Grants Pass High School all being represented. 

Our students had a chance to work with an outstanding conductor, and rehearse intensively with other student musicians from throughout the state of Oregon.  The hard work culminated with a performance on the stage of the Hult Center in Eugene.

We are very proud of all the work these student musicians accomplished in representing themselves and District 7 in Eugene.
