Congratulations to the 31 McIntosh Band Students selected for the District Honor Band this past weekend. 26 students were able to participate and did an outstanding job this weekend at Sandy Creek. 

Congratulations to Tad Paulsel, Nicole Young and Ethan Watson on being accepted to the UGA School of Music. The students attended JanFest Honor Band this weekend and while there chose to do a separate audition for the college of music. All three were told during the audition that they have been accepted to the school of music! It is unusual to be told your results during an audition so we are beyond proud of these individuals! Photo attached!

The Atlanta Symphony Youth Orchestra is the Junior organization to the Symphony Orchestra. It is a very challenging audition process and  it is very difficult to gain membership. Our McIntosh students did an outstanding job this season!
