On Saturday, January 13, 2024, Dillon Middle School band members had the opportunity to participate in the Eastern District Honor Band Clinic which was held at West Florence High School in Florence, SC. In order for students to be selected for this honor band, students had to play seven scales, define musical terms, sight-read, and play a solo. We were glad to have the following students to represent the DMS band program. Pictured are: Luis Villagomez (Trombone), Ka’Ziyah Palmer (Trombone), Arisa Real (Euphonium), Emory McLellan (Tuba), Kane Griffin (Tuba), Ja’Kiya Wheeler (Bariton Saxophone), Jaylen Keitt (Alto Saxophone), J’Halen Brown (Tenor Saxophone), Kaden Hunt (Alto Saxophone,) Jamiah Jacobs (Bass Clarinet), Sanaa Hodge (Contra Eb Clarinet), Gionna Gillespie (Bassoon), Shaniyal Colvin (Contra Bb Bass Clarinet), Johniya Townsend (Trumpet), Navae’ Johnson-German (Trumpet), Olivia Byrd (Trumpet), Jamerson Campbell (Percussion), Daniel Kiza (Percussion), Mi’Shawn Brown (Flute), Jaylen Anderson (Flute), and Band Director Kevin McLellan.
