TC clarinetist/bass clarinetist/tenor sax player Becky Visser recently auditioned and placed third in the state’s Honors band. Third chair is the highest any TC student has ever gotten in classical music. Becky wrote this about her awesome weekend…
“On January 29-31 I had the pleasure of going to Peoria Illinois for the 2009 IMEA All-State convention. While I was there I auditioned and was chosen as the 3rd chair bass clarinet player for the All-State Honor Band, which is the highest level band that a high school student can be in. While I was there I thought that playing for 10 hours a day would be very draining but it was actually very exciting and I never got sick of playing with all the best kids in the state. Our conductor, Mark Camphouse was an amazing conductor and just by looking at him conduct it was so easy to feel the emotion of the music and apply it to the songs we were playing. He had a very good way of squeezing every little bit of musicianship out of all of us. It was a weekend filled with music that I have never experienced before, and will never forget about. I hope that I can someday be in another ensemble as sophisticated as last weekend.”
Congrats Becky!!!!!!!
