NEW GLARUS - Ben Copeland, a freshman at New Glarus High School, was recently selected to the Wisconsin State Music Association High School State Honors Band.

Copeland was one of nine trombone players from the state to be selected through a very rigorous audition process.

Students auditioning were challenged to perform at their musical best throughout the short rehearsal period, which culminates with a performance in October at the Wisconsin State Music Conference in Madison. Copeland will participate in an intensive four-day summer camp in June to prepare for the performance in October.

Celebrating its 50th year, the WSMA State Honors Music Project is nationally recognized as one of the finest opportunities for young people.
