ALL-STATE BAND

Eighth-grade trumpet player Leba Maskiny was accepted into the prestigious 2025 Indiana Junior All-State Band. Out of a competitive pool of hundreds of musicians, Leba was selected as one of the top trumpet players in the entire state. The experience culminated in a breathtaking performance at the Indiana Music Teachers Convention in Fort Wayne. Leba's achievement is a testament to his dedication and talent, marking an exciting milestone in his musical journey. Congratulations to Leba and his trumpet teacher, Mr. Heitger! Go Lions!
