Fifteen of the 16 candidates from Highlands successfully made it into this year's group - the High School's best showing yet. Special recognition to Jacob Allan, who was among 17 percussionists auditioning for only 9 spots. He unfortunately missed out by only 1 point. The Highlands High School band director is Mr. Matthew Beresik. Congratulations again to all of our HHS Band students on a job well done!
The A-K Valley Honors Band concert will take place at Penn Hills High School on Friday evening, January 18, 2019 at 7:00pm. We hope to see you there!
