Four East Stroudsburg University student members of the University\/Community Concert Band (UCCB) participated in 69th annual Pennsylvania Intercollegiate Band Festival held March 4-6 at Elizabethtown College in Elizabethtown, Pa.<\/p>\n
The students included Mirand Tripus, flute, a senior from Moscow, Pa. with majors in political science, philosophy, and English; Victoria Kraft, euphonium, a senior from Langhorne, Pa. majoring in middle level education with a concentration in mathematics and a minor in music; Matthew Helbers, trombone, a sophomore from East Stroudsburg, Pa., majoring in mathematics; and Jacqueline Hoffman, oboe, a freshman from Elizabethtown, Pa. with majors in nursing and in Spanish.<\/p>\n
To be invited to the festival, the students went through a selection process that involved a recommendation from UCCB band director, Lance Rauh, a temporary instructor of theatre at ESU, and a review by a screening committee.<\/p>\n
The four ESU students, accompanied by Rauh, joined 100 other college band members from colleges and universities throughout the state for the three-day event, which is the oldest, continually operating band festival in the country.<\/p>\n
Under the direction of Dr. Michael Golemo from Iowa State University, the band students performed a full program of professional level band literature. The festival consisted of three days of intensive rehearsals and concluded with a Sunday afternoon concert<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
