Zachary, LA- Congratulations to three Northwestern Middle School Band members for making

the Louisiana All-State Band! The auditions are very competitive, and the band is comprised of

the top middle school musicians in the state! Ben DeLee, Caleb Connor, and Adrian Concienne

will represent NMS at the All-State Band and LMEA (Louisiana Music Educators Association)

State Conference in New Orleans this January.

NMS Band Director, Emma Haley shared, “Our students began preparing their All-State

audition music back in May and have worked tirelessly to prepare for the extremely rigorous

audition. I am so proud of their efforts and can’t wait for them to experience the rehearsals,

clinician, and concerts that this year’s All-State Band provides. I have no doubt that they will

represent Northwestern Middle School well in New Orleans!”
