Student and teachers attend national band and conference

Submitted by KES Music Teacher, Pat Dixon

The National Association for Music Educators National conference was held in Nashville, TN October 26-29, 2014.  Kingman High School Junior Patrick Orr was selected to perform in the National Honor Band.  To be eligible to perform in this elite group, Patrick first auditioned and performed his bassoon in the South Central Kansas District band and the Kansas Music Educators Association All-State Band. Patrick was one of 155 Band members and one of only five bassoonists in the National Band.  

Two Kingman music teachers, Roger Wilson and Patricia Dixon, were the official sponsors for Patrick.  Mr. Wilson and Mrs. Dixon attended 4 days of sessions, performances, speeches and concerts.
