FAME Band Celebrates Brandon sanchez, Santonio Jones, and Kevin mendoza

🎷 FAME Jazz Making History! 🎶

On Wednesday, September 30, the New Manchester High School FAME Band proudly sent Brandon Sanchez, Santonio Jones, and Kevin Mendoza to Villa Rica High School to audition for the District 7 Jazz Honor Band.

These talented scholar-musicians performed alongside some of the best high school jazz musicians in our district, and all three represented New Manchester with excellence! This marked a first for the FAME Band Program, and we are incredibly proud of Brandon, Santonio, and Kevin for stepping up to the challenge and setting a new standard for our program.

And now for the big news... 🥁

🎉 Congratulations to senior Brandon Sanchez! 🎉

Brandon earned a spot in the District 7 Jazz Honor Band and was selected as the 1st Chair Tenor Saxophone in the second of the district’s two honor jazz bands!

This is a tremendous accomplishment for Brandon and another exciting milestone for the New Manchester High School FAME Jazz Band. His hard work, musicianship, and dedication have made both his school and our entire band program proud.

Congratulations, Brandon! 🎷🔥

Pride. Achievement. Integrity.
