Dean selected for Class C All-State Honor Band

Dean selected for Class C All-State Honor Band

Bridgeport freshman percussionist Grace Dean earned her third straight appearance at Class C All State Honor Band, which performed on Saturday in Kearney. To be considered for a spot on the stage, Grace prepared an audition on the snare drum. Selection was through a blind judging of her recording; meaning that the judge could critique a person only on what they heard on the instrument, not by a student interview, knowledge of their grade, or school identification. Grace was subsequently selected as one of two ninth graders playing in the newly formed percussion ensemble. Class C All State comprises all Class C schools in Nebraska and the qualification is highly selective; hundreds of students that audition every year do not make the cut.
