Musicians receive all-state honors
Several area high school students have been selected to the Montana All-State Music Festival.
Students auditioned for a chance at being selected for All-State band, choir or orchestra.
For some musicians such as Whitefish orchestra students Connor Gray and Rebecca Holdhusen, this marks the fourth year they have been accepted to perform at All-State.
The festival takes place Oct. 16 through 18 in Bozeman.
