Two musicians from the Quakertown Community School District were specially selected to participate in the 2021 All-Star Honor Ensembles Band and String Orchestra by Zeswitz Music.
The students are Dean Orrison, below, of the Sixth Grade Center and Jude Eveland, at left, of Pfaff Elementary School. Dean, who played trombone, was nominated by Todd Silvius, SGC’s Concert Band and Jazz Band Director. Jude, who played mallet percussion, was nominated by Lara Cifelli, Band Director at Pfaff and Trumbauersville Elementary Schools.
“We’re incredibly proud of these students,” Ms. Cifelli said. “They were outstanding.”
