On Tuesday, October 5, Southview Middle School had (10) 8th grade students audition, which is the maximum amount of students allowed to audition for district honor band. Out of those 10 students to audition for the South Central Iowa Bandmasters Association (SCIBA) District Honor Band, all 10 students were selected to participate in the SCIBA District Honor Band Festival!
8 of the 10 students were selected to participate in the SCIBA Blue Band, which is comprised of the best quality 8th grade auditioned students, and 2 students were selected for the White band, which is comprised of high quality 8th grade auditioned students and top nominated 7th graders.
The event will be held on Tuesday, November 2 at Ankeny Centennial High School. Southview is one of only two school districts out of the South Central Iowa district to have all 10 students.
