On Saturday, October 23 the Prairie High School
music department participated in the Iowa All-State Music Festival auditions.
Nineteen students were selected
as All-State Musicians and two were selected as alternates. This is the highest
honor a high school musician can receive in the state of Iowa. Approximately
17% of the students who audition are selected for membership in the All-State
ensemble. Additionally, they have earned the honor of participating with other
selected students from around the state in the All-State Band, Choir or Orchestra
under three of the finest conductors in the country. These students will be
presenting the "2010 All-State Music Festival's Grand Finale Concert"
live from Hilton Coliseum on the campus of Iowa State University on Saturday,
November
20 at 7:00 pm. Iowa Public Television will tape the concert and then will broadcast
it multiple times during the Thanksgiving holiday.
