Many students from the Kent School District were selected to participate in All-State and All-Northwest groups at the Music Educator’s All-Northwest Conference in Portland on Feb. 15-17.
Students worked hard to audition and then learn the concert repertoire before traveling to Portland for practicing and performing.
