Lutheran South was honored to have nine entries compete in instrumental music at the State level on Saturday, December 3. Over 1000 students from across the entire state of Missouri competed in Columbia, Missouri, and less than 10% of those that audition are actually selected for state recognition. We are proud to announce the following results:
Tyler Sanft (French Horn), Craig Butler (bassoon), Nathan McCord (jazz drummer), and Kyle Hopfer (trombone) were selected to play “call-back” auditions. Tyler, Craig, and Nathan were all named to the State of Missouri “Honorable Mention” Band. Congratulations!!!
