Nine Christian Home & Bible School Middle and High School students auditioned and were selected to be part of the All District Bands.
The competition featuring talented students from public and private schools in Lake, Marion and Sumter Counties, saw competitors vying for placement in one of the District's most prestigious bands.
Competitors chosen from the auditions, held at Groveland's South Lake High School, were given an opportunity to play with their district peers in either the High School, Middle School, or Jazz Band. These ensembles rehearsed challenging music with guest clinicians over the course of two days.
The event culminated with a concert on the final day of the competition. The Christian Home & Bible School’s Band, directed by Doug Yopp, consists of 60 members and is in their third year as a marching band.
