The Northwest High School Honor Band will hold two performances on Saturday, Jan. 12 in Lagerquist Concert Hall under the direction of music professor Ed Powell.
Nearly 200 high school students from Oregon, Idaho and Washington are nominated by their band directors to participate in the two-day intensive clinic that begins on Jan. 10. Guest clinicians include John Lynch and Thomas Stone.
Lynch is professor of music and the director of bands at the University of Georgia, where he guides all aspects of the band and graduate wind conducting programs. An active clinician and a published composer, Lynch also has 10 years of public high school teaching experience in New York.
Stone is the conductor of the Wind Ensemble and professor of music at Centenary College in Shreveport, La. He also serves as the conductor of the Centenary Summer Band, a professional ensemble, and has extensive experience as a conductor and teacher in private and public schools.
At the clinic, Lynch will work with the symphonic band while Stone works with the concert band. PLU faculty will also hold master class sessions with the high school students.
The concert band will perform at 5 p.m., followed by the symphonic band at 6:30 p.m. The concerts are free and open to the public with seating on a first come, first served basis.
