On Monday and Tuesday, November 6-7, twenty-nine Pinedale High School musicians participated in the annual Southwest Wyoming District Honor Band and Honor Choir.

These students practiced with other musicians from area schools for two days at Star Valley and performed a concert on Tuesday night in the Star Valley High School Auditorium. They were selected from nominations sent in by the directors from the nine schools participating in this clinic/concert.

The All-District Honor Choir was directed by Dr. Katrina Zook. Dr. Zook is an Associate Professor at the University of Wyoming. She is an active adjudicator and clinician in the Rocky Mountain Region and has had leading roles in several operas. Last May she was invited to perform and teach at the Universidade de Brasilia, in South-central Brazil.

The All-District Honor Band was under the direction of Mr. Dennis A. Reese. Mr. Reese recently completed his teaching career in California after having served 35 years in public education. Reese currently resides in Afton, Wyoming, teaches 5th and 6th grade orchestra and is also conductor of the Jackson Hole Community Band. This was his 17th appearance as guest conductor at Honor Bands throughout the country.
