Eunho Jung Selected for All-State Orchestra!
Crusader achieves rare honor
Lutheran Northwest freshman Eunho Jung is off to Grand Rapids this weekend to play her cello in this year’s Michigan School Band and Orchestra Association All-State Orchestra!
Selected by audition, the 9th grader is the first Lutheran Northwest student to receive All-State honors.
The All-State program is described on the MSBOA website:
The MSBOA All-State program was established in the 2005 - 06 school year.
Five ensembles are selected from recorded auditions: a Middle School String Orchestra, a Middle School Band, a High School Full Orchestra, a High School Band and a High School Jazz Ensemble.
Students must prepare an announced etude, a series of scales and sight-read during each 10 minute recorded audition. Each audition is submitted using only an identification number with no reference to the student or school. The auditions are evaluated by an adjudicator and placed in order. The required number of instruments is selected to fill each section. An average of over 2,000 students audition each year for the 400 seats in our five ensembles.
In January the students assemble for two and a half days of rehearsal with nationally recognized conductors. A concert is held on the Saturday of the Michigan Music Conference.
Well done, Eunho! Congratulations on your achievement!
