Anderson takes first chair concert band at CenTex
Senior Erykah Anderson thought she had placed third chair clarinet in the CenTex Concert Band until she found out that there had been a mistake in calculating her score. She was actually first chair.
On Wednesday, senior Erykah Anderson competed at the CenTex band competition in Riesel.
After a quick run-through, she performed her music and sight-read for the judges, placing 15 out of 56 clarinets overall.
“It was cool,” Anderson said. “I had a lot of fun.”
Placing in the top 15 wasn’t her only accomplishment of the day. Erykah was listed that night as third chair clarinet in the concert band – and then was moved up to first chair when it was discovered that a mistake had been made on the score sheet.
“Overall, I’m proud of my performance,” Anderson said. “I think I did pretty well.”
