Five

Louise Kern-Kensler, a sophomore trombone player, and Peter Henderson, a
senior percussionist, were all selected as
members of the Area Symphonic Band, with Louise and Peter earning
principal positions in their respective sections. Liana Greenberg, a
junior contra-alto clarinet player, and Adam Friedman-Brown, a junior
French horn player, were selected as members of the
Area Wind Ensemble, with Adam earning the position of principal player

Moreover, Adam earned the highest score of all
students auditioning on French horn, putting him first among the
twenty-two other students auditioning. “We are all very
proud of these students and their wonderful accomplishment,” said Peter
Bauer, Director of Bands at Columbia. “They have worked hard and
accomplished so much, and will represent our school and band program
with distinction and pride.”
