Band, choir and orchestra students receive All-Northwest, All-State honors

Thirty-six Mercer Island High School and Islander Middle School band, choir and orchestra students were selected from a pool of auditions submitted from across five states as members of the All-Northwest and All-State honor groups.

While there will be no in-person honor ensembles this year, the Washington Music Educators Association (WMEA) will be mailing a decal and certificate of congratulations to all accepted students. Items will be mailed to schools in care of teachers. In addition, WMEA will be offering online clinics to all students who submitted auditions this year, whether accepted or not, on April 24.
