Ten HHS student musicians were selected at New England regional auditions and represented New Hampshire at the New England Music Festival in Bennington, VT on March 13 – 15. The Festival, founded in 1928, attracts high school students who want to participate in a professional-quality audition and performance. This year 1,800 students from six New England states auditioned for the Festival band, chorus and orchestra.
When Hanover High first sent students to auditions in 2002, one HHSer was selected. Each year increasing numbers of HHS students have auditioned and been chosen, leading up to this year’s ten. Dan Carroll (tuba), Miriam Fiering (oboe), Leah Kohn (bassoon), Aaron Watanabe (euphonium), and Jahn White (French horn) performed with the 120-member New England Festival Band. Molly Finlayson (violin), Rebecca Haynes (cello), Zach Sheets (piccolo), Atticus Wallace (viola), and Savannah Wallace (violin) showed their talents with the 105-member NE Festival Orchestra.
