The Williston-Elko Band has six students participating in the Region 4 Band in Charleston at the end of February.
The students participating in Region from Williston-Elko are Suzie Chavis, Ebony Corbitt, Summer Mead, Jacob Rhoad, Thomas Stanton and Kandice White. These students auditioned in Summerville just after the Christmas holidays. The audition requirements included performing a prepared solo, major scales, their chromatic scale, along with performing two pieces of sightreading and demonstrating knowledge of musical vocabulary.
Region 4 consists of schools from Barnwell County across to Charleston and down to the bottom of the state. The students that earned positions in the Region 4 Band will participate in the Region Clinic on Friday, Feb. 24 and Saturday, Feb. 25 at Charleston Southern University. They will attend rehearsals with the other students that were selected to participate and will perform a final concert on Saturday.
