Greene County High School will be well represented once again at next month’s Iowa High School Music Association’s All-State Festival.

Band Director Wes Anderson says four students qualified from Saturday’s auditions in Atlantic.  Senior Reilly Harrington qualified on french horn for orchestra, juniors Emily Heupel on oboe and Noah Von Stein on bass clarinet made it for band and senior Brittany Richardson is an alternate on flute.  Anderson points out that all are first-time all-staters.

Choir Director David Heupel says two students qualified for all-state choir with Michael Kennedy and David Peterson.  Kennedy is making his second consecutive trip, while Peterson is going for a third straight year.  Of the 18 students that auditioned, Heupel says he had four trios and two duets try out.  He is incredibly proud of those who auditioned and for those who qualified.  He is also proud that his daughter Emily made it through as a junior for the band.

The all-state festival is held at the Iowa State Center November 19th through the 21st, with the final concert at the Hilton Coliseum on the 21st.
