We are proud of Moorhead High School Band Members Ava Mattison and Simon Wanzek for being selected into the 2025-26 Minnesota Music Educators Association's All State Band. The MMEA All State Band is comprised of high school students from around the state who were selected through a competition audition process. In conjunction with the MMEA Mid-Winter Convention, these students performed their culminating concert on Saturday, Feb. 14 at Monticello High School, which was a venue change from the typical Orchestra Hall experience due to the unrest that has been impacting the Downtown Minneapolis Area for many weeks this winter. #FoundationsForTheFuture
