Martin Jones Makes All-State Band Alternate Position

Congratulations to Martin Jones for making an Alternate Position in the 2018-19 Missouri All-State Band on the Contra-Alto Bass Clarinet. Students who make the All-District Band are eligible to audition for the All-State Band. Over 1,000 students auditioned and 27 were auditioning on the same instrument as Martin, in which he ranked 4th overall. The Salem High School Band Director, David Schatz, says “To my knowledge this is the highest ranking any Salem High School band student has ever received in the Missouri All-State Band. This is a rare honor for only a sophomore to receive and it is a testament to Martin’s work ethic."
