A HUGE Congratulations to the following North students for having been selected to the prestigious 2013 Indiana All-State and All-State Honor Bands!!
Members of these bands are composed of exceptional musicians selected following highly competitive auditions held early in January at nine centers across Indiana. Over 950 talented young people applied to audition. A committee then reviewed recordings from each center and 165 students from 54 high schools were selected for participation in the 2013 Festival, the very best being placed in the Honor Band.

All members will participate in a series of activities including seating auditions, sectionals, and full rehearsals from Friday, March 8 through Sunday, March 10. A grand finale concert will be presented to the public on Sunday, March 10 at 2:30 pm in the Elliott Hall of Music on the Purdue University campus. Dr. Tom Caneva, from Ball State University, will direct the 82 piece Indiana All-State Band. Paul Popiel, from the University of Kansas and formerly from the Indiana University Jacobs School of Music, will direct the 83 member Indiana All-State "Honor" Band.
