These skilled student musicians earned spots in the District 7 South band by auditioning late in 2024. They spent two days performing with and getting to know their peers from 38 school districts in Lancaster, York, and Adams counties. Next up will be the 15-county Region V Band Festival, March 6-8 at East Stroudsburg South High School. Best of luck to all who auditioned!
