Congratulations Ben!! That is wonderful. I live in Texas and we had
district auditons on Nov. 21st. I got 1st chair which pleased me because
i got it last year and did not want to get beat. I am a junior and i
want to incourage you to keep practicing and strive for nothing less
than your best. Last year i made the Texas All-State band and i hope
that you go that far too in PA. Congratulations once again on your
accomplishment.......i am sure that this is only the begining......:)
