Three members of the Mount Pleasant High School Jazz Band were named to the All-Region Jazz Band after auditions hosted at the Mount Pleasant High School Performing Arts Complex on Thursday, September 21. In order to audition, students had to prepare three technical pieces in the jazz style, with each piece requiring a high level of skill and mastery of the style.

Those named to the All-Region Jazz Band include senior Orion Senence (1st chair Trumpet), junior Luke Thurman (2nd chair Percussion), and sophomore Bruno Deleon (3rd chair Trombone).

“I’m extremely proud of each student that auditioned,” said MPHS Jazz Band Director, Jamey Sterrett. “Their hard work, and dedication to excellence continues to set them apart from all others. Our band program has extremely high expectations of our students in regard to their time, work ethic, and musicianship. These students have far exceeded those expectations and have marked themselves for success through their continued efforts. I’m truly honored to assist them on their musical journey.”
