Congratulations to four ACS band students who were selected to the South Jersey Elementary Honor Band that performed on April 29 at Absegami High School. The four students selected were, from left: Chase Wilkinson, Jennyfer Loiaza-Riveros, Gabrielle DiSciascio, and Findley Maxwell.

The students were nominated in January to be considered for the Honor Band by Music Director Tim Rosie. The South Jersey Band and Orchestra Director’s Association, which oversees the Honor Band, received 530 nominations of students from public and private schools across southern New Jersey.

The four ACS students were among 260 students who were selected to be in the Honor Band and were placed in one of four performing groups that rehearsed during the morning of April 29 and then performed a 20-minute concert in the afternoon. Music Director Rosie accompanied the students to the event.

5th grader Gabrielle DiSciascio and 6th grader Chase Wilkson performed on the trumpet, 6th grader Findley Maxwell performed on the clarinet, and 6th grader Jennyfer Loiaza-Riveros played the flute.
