Lily Madison and Raelin Meacham participated in the PMEA District 2 Jazz Band held in February at Collegiate Academy in Erie.  Lily, piano, and Raelin, tenor saxophone, were in one of four jazz bands selected through an audition held in November of 2023. 

They worked with guest conductor John Roden from the General McLane School District in Edinboro and presented a public concert to end the event.  Raelin, clarinet; and Lily, percussion, qualified for PMEA Region II Band Festival through their audition at the district band festival. 

This year, Meadville Area Senior High School hosted the event with 160 students from all over Northwestern Pennsylvania.  The festival was held February 22-24 and was guest conducted by Dr. Brad Genevro from Oklahoma State University.
