Marion High School band members Sarah Guetersloh and Landon Leiker were selected to be part of the 1234A State Honors Band.
Leiker will be first chair trumpet, and Guetersloh will be third chair trombone. It is Leiker’s second selection to the band and Guetersloh’s first.
“Both of them are involved in so many things all year,” MHS Band Director Adam Johnson said. “They are always going somewhere to do something with this group or that one.
“So for them to practice many hours every week in the midst of everything else shows their commitment to performing well. They deserve a lot of credit for that.”
The pair will rehearse with other band students Feb. 25 through 27 for a concert at 3 p.m. on Feb. 27 at Century II Concert Hall in Wichita. Tickets cost $6 and are available from WichitaTix.
