RSD Middle & High School Students Selected For All-State Ensembles
Seventeen instrumental music students from Richland School District’s middle and high schools were selected for state and regional honor ensembles for 2021.
The selections are determined by the Washington Music Educators Association (WMEA) and National Association for Music Education (NAfME). The students were selected based on submitted audition recordings.
There will not performances of the ensembles at the association meetings this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, though the students will be eligible to participate in online clinics in April.
