One of my best friends is the lead trombone player in our band and he made IMEA (Illinois Music Something Something Association) district and was lead trombone in their top jazz ensemble (Honor Band). Then he was selected from that group to play at the All State level with the best of the best from all of Illinois and ended up being chosen for the top band in the state as the fourth trombone. So to sum up my friend is the fourth best jazz trombonist or trombonist period in the state!
About two years ago as well, the lead trombonist in our band was the best in the state so its kind of a cool tradition now and theres an unbelievable amount of talent not only at our school but in the surrounding districts.
