Please help SPG congratulate some of Steller’s artistic students!
Steller student achievements in Band & Theatre
Band:
Steller Band students, Ezzy Banning on flute, Noah Lapierre on tenor saxophone, and Zoe McDonagh on French horn have been accepted to the 2025 ASD All-City Middle School Band. It is an honor band for 7th and 8th grade students for ASD, and the selection of membership requires competitive live auditions.
“Ezzy, Noah, and Zoe were competing with other students from large schools,” said Mr. Toba. “The three students handled pressure and did well for the auditions. Ezzy is just a 7th grader but beat many 8th graders. I am so proud of the accomplishment Ezzy, Noah, and Zoe achieved.”
The All-City Middle School Band will meet selected Tuesdays for rehearsals in February, March, and April. The Middle School All-City Band, Choir and Orchestra will have a concert on Thursday, April 17 at West High School at 7 p.m. Public is invited.
Theatre:

This full-length Teen Edition of Anaïs Mitchell’s haunting, jazz-inflected folk opera follows Orpheus’ mythical quest to overcome Hades and regain the favor of his one true love, Eurydice.
