Congratulations to the following Hanford West High School students who were accepted into the California Band Directors Association All-State Honor Band:
  • Tanner Olivas, Baritone Saxophone
  • Laura Sasser, Trumpet
  • Judy Wang, Piano

These students were chosen from more than 1,600 students who auditioned. They performed last weekend at the California All-State Music Education Conference in Fresno. Hanford West tied with El Diamate High for having the most students selected from schools in the Valley.

Congratulations also to Hanford West's Hunter Rose Turner for being selected in the All State Honor Choir. Hunter is a Sophomore, and was selected out of 1,500 students throughout the state. She will perform with the All-State Choir on April 2 at Sacramento State University.
