This
year GA sent a record number of students to the Pennsylvania Music Educators'
Association (PMEA) District 11 Band. Michael Hanamirian, Peter Hillinck, Tim
Reuter, Eli Scheleicher, and myself, all seniors, spent three days at the end
of January perfecting professional level music in a group of 70 high school
students selected from high schools from Montgomery and Bucks County.
Our conductor, Dr. Jason Worzbyt, was so surprised at this year's band's preparation that he complimented us every single time he spoke to us as a group (which was too many times to count). The three day event culminated in a performance that had everyone on their feet by the end of the last song.

The five of us all met a wide range of unique and talented musicians, all were
excited about music and love spreading it. We were also proud to represent
our school, as GA was one of the few schools to send at least five students to
District Band. This is a great testament to the music program at GA, led
by Mr. Mauro, the Wind Ensemble director, Mr. Horner, the orchestra director,
and Mr. Masters, the new performing arts head.
