 MAIS CONCERT BAND CLINIC




Congratulations to the 15 members of the JA Band who participated in the MAIS Concert Band Clinic last week. Twelve of the 15 earned spots in the first band.

The clinic was one of the largest ever, with 110 student musicians from independent schools around the state. JA alumna Tracy Carter conducted the second band.

Thank you to the students for their exemplary behavior throughout the clinic. Thanks also to Cindy Jordan for helping to transport students to Hinds on Thursday.
