Pearl R. Miller Middle School

On Saturday, December 7th, six PRM students qualified for membership in this year's North Jersey Area Band. We are very proud of each and every student and their personal accomplishments.

This year we have clarinet players, Emilia R. and Mikayla G. On bass clarinet we have Isabella H., a student who started in the band last year. We are so proud of her for rising to the top in such a short time. On trombone we have Richard C. and Jon F., and we have Colin T. on percussion.

Special recognition goes to Richard C. and Colin T. for achieving the highest score, known as "First Chair," for their respective instruments. It is quite an honor for the students and their teacher, as well. John F. was only one point behind Richard, adding to the best year in some time. Congratulations to all of the students who auditioned!
