On February 16 and 17, seventh grader, Silas Urban went to the Greenhill School Marshall Family Performing Arts Center. Urban and 60 other private school band students had previously won spots in the TPSMEA Middle School Honor Band, getting a chance to perform with the band at concert. The group rehearsed for over 12 hours during the period of two days, conducted by David Puckett, director of the Keller Middle School Band. Urban had previously made the first chair clarinet in February, “Performing makes me nervous but it’s easy at the same time. I am planning on joining the high school band next year for more of a challenge,” Urban said.
