Wind Ensemble Makes History

Our Wind Ensemble performed today at the Ohio Music Education Association State Finals are earned a superior rating. The 55 member Wind Ensemble, comprised of mostly sophomores and juniors, performed very well in the Westlake Performing Arts Center, then went on to earn a superior rating in the sight-reading room! This event makes history because this year's wind ensemble is the first Avon Lake concert band to earn a superior rating at state finals since 1991! Congratulations, Wind Ensemble!!!
