Three young musicians at Kent County Middle School earned spots in the Eastern Shore Band Directors Association All Shore Honor Band this month.
KCMS Trojan Band members Sophie Cousineau, Sebastien Cousineau and Björn Birkmire earned seats in the All Shore Honor Band following an audition at Colonel Richardson High School in Caroline County on Saturday, Feb. 5.
"This is a great achievement for our Trojan band members and I am honored to be their band director," said Troy Stupart, the KCMS band teacher.
Sophie Cousineau, who plays alto saxophone, auditioned so well, she placed first chair in her section. Sebastien Cousineau plays trumpet and Birkmire is a trombonist.
All three are seventh-graders.
It will be two days of rehearsals culminating in an afternoon performance when the All Shore Honor Band gets together Friday and Saturday, April 1 and 2 at Easton High School.
There will be rehearsals Friday afternoon and evening and again Saturday morning, with a banquet to follow. The concert will be held at 4 p.m. Saturday.
