Concert and Reception Held to Recognize 2022 Participants
WABASH, Ind.— The Wabash Valley Music Association’s (WVMA) Honors Band and Choir marked its 48th year with a performance and reception on Friday, March 11, 2022 at the Honeywell Center. This concert was sponsored in part by the Howard M. Garver Endowment and the Larry and Anne Curless Endowment for Honors Band and Choir.
The Honors Band & Choir Concert is important to Wabash County because it uplifts the musical and artistic talent of high school students in our county. Every spring, the most talented high school musicians and vocalists are brought together to present the public concert at the Honeywell Center. Students from Northfield, Southwood, Wabash, and Manchester High Schools spend weeks rehearsing for the riveting performance that showcases the tremendous amount of young talent in our area.
The Honors Band and Choir concert provides students who have excelled in music education the opportunity to work with and perform with professional guest conductors and directors. The experience broadens the students’ experience and allows them to see how different music leaders work and convey their expectations. Through this program, the WVMA provides artistic exposure and enrichment to area students. Choral students who are participating this year performed under the direction of Dr. Kerry Glann. Band students were conducted by Dr. Scott Humphries.
