Congratulations, FCS Fine Arts Students
shareNC Bandmasters Association All-District Band:
Daniel Elston represented Friendship Christian School at the Central District (NC Bandmasters Association) All-District Band Clinic on Friday and Saturday, January 30-31, 2015. Daniel competed against 73 high school trombone players from public and private schools in a district composed of 13 counties (including Wake, Durham, Orange and Guilford) in the middle of NC. Daniel, a ninth grader, came in 7th place overall (2nd place in grades 9-10) and will be in the 9-10 wind ensemble (2nd chair). Only 24 students were selected to participate in one of the 3 the showcase bands. His score was also high enough to allow him to compete for a spot in the NCBA All-State Honors Band which will include students from the entire state of NC. Only the top three trombone students in each of the six all-district bands qualify to try out for the Honors Band. Congratulations, Daniel!
