Some of the Yankton High School band members have had a busy couple months! Auditions were held in December for both the SDSU and USD Honor Bands. Students recorded their auditions and were notified in December if they were selected. These selected students then spent a day and a half with nationally recognized directors and musicians from across five area states! What a great way to make music!
