State Honors Music Students.  Twenty-nine area students won the honor of performing in the Minnesota Music Teachers Association's 76th Annual State Honors Concert.  The concert was held in the Auditorium of the Minneapolis Convention Center on May 21st.  The event consisted of 30 compositions for piano ensemble played by 700 winners of the MMTA State Contest.  Dr. John Froelich conducted the concert.

         The young musicians represent the top 5% to 7% of pianists in the State of Minnesota, each one diligently preparing and memorizing their contest piece, making sure to go beyond just the notes to prepare a musically artistic performance.  In February approximately 3,500 students throughout the state competed in the preliminary contest.  Those who qualified competed in the final contest held at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities.  There were eight age-level categories in addition to the Junior and Senior Young Artist categories.  In the upper levels, successful completion of a theory test is a requirement in order to be selected to perform. 

         Pictured performers at the State Honors Concert are all students of MMTA teacher Candace Sather of Laketown Township.  Front (l-r): Laura Kirsch, Anna Roberts of Victoria, Wallace Gordon, Megan Beulke, Selena Zingsheim.  Row 2:  Christina Thies, Oliver Calder, Margaret Kirsch, Adam Ouska, Dylan Noack.  Row 3: Jona Beulke, Danielle Pioske.  Row 4: Noelle Drapeau of Victoria, Kaitlin Cook, Katherine Johnson of Victoria, Elsa Swanson, Claire Drapeau of Victoria.  Row 5:  Hayley Mans of Victoria, Kari Meissner, Julia Sorensen, Alison Winslow.  Row 6: Christopher McNamara of Victoria, Kristine Meissner, Bennett Johnson of Victoria, Michaela Rasmussen of Holy Family Catholic High School in Victoria, Sarah Bening.  Not pictured: Lauren Jones, Sydney Jones, Tillian Teske.
