Fossil Hill Band Win's National Honor

Bands from Indian Springs Middle School and Fossil Hill Middle School each have been selected as national winners of the Mark of Excellence National Wind Band Honors. Vanessa Frost, a flute soloist with the Fossil Hill Ensemble was chosen as the outstanding soloist.

Fossil Hill received the honor for the first time and was under the direction of Darlene Janeski, Eric Boyd and Melissa Bullock.

Choice Music Events' third annual Mark of Excellence Contest was an outstanding success due to the participation of many fine high school and middle school bands, choirs, and orchestras across the nation. The Mark of Excellence recorded music contest offers bands, choirs, and orchestras the unprecedented opportunity to earn national recognition for their musical achievement while creating a unique, competitive environment that allows ensembles to compare their performance quality to that of other outstanding groups from across the country.

Top ensembles will be recognized in national publications and at national and regional conventions.

Congratulations again, VANESSA FROST - FLUTE
