Allie Brandt was recently named as a finalist in the American Wind
Band 16th annual scholarship competition.
25 high school and 8th grade students submitted a recorded
audition. 11 finalists were chosen - six
from 8th grade and 5 from high school. On Saturday, March 12 the final
competition was held at Gloria Dei Church in Downers Grove where each contestant played
their solo live in front of a three-judge panel.
South High School sophomore Allie Brandt was chosen as winner of the high school division, earning a $1,300
scholarship to use for private lessons or summer camp. Allie will play with the American Wind Band at
their April 24th concert where she will also play her solo for the patrons in attendance. Congratulations to Allie!
