The Nine Star Honor Band is sponsored by the Florida Bandmaster’s Association for the second year. It is for rising 10th grade students who have shown great musical aptitude and ability, and come from the highest quality band programs in Florida.

The Tate students selected were: Mallory Parker, Madison Philley, Madison Rondeau, Katlin Sainata and Danae Smith.

They will travel to Alamonte Springs on July 9 and 10 to perform with other sophomores from around the state. Their clinician will be Dan Wooten, director of bands at Niceville High School and former member and assistant director of the Tate High School Showband of the South.

    Hey! I know those girls! If I’m not mistaken, they all learned “Science in Mr. O’s Lab” at Ransom Middle School! Is THAT why they are superstars? Nah! It’s because of their dedication and work ethic! They learned THAT at HOME! Way to go kids! And way to go parents! By the way, when you see any of these young ladies, ask them to list their virtues, and be prepared to be amazed!
