NLHS Students Named to All-Region Orchestra

On November 15, band students from Region 4 and 21 met at Longview High School to compete for a place in the All-Region Orchestra.

“With only about twenty-five places in the ensemble, the competition is very tough,” said North Lamar Associate Band Director Jason R. Smith.

North Lamar had eight students earn a place in the ensemble that will perform December 2 in Longview.  Those named are Iyanla Hawkins (1^st chair flute), Jayden Franklin(2^nd chair flute), Parker Freeman (1^st chair bassoon), Laura Carl (2^nd chair bassoon), Dylan Holiday (1^st chair bass trombone), Seth Carter (1^st chair tuba), Ashton Carter (1^st chair percussion), and Sam Greenwell (2^nd chair percussion).
