Ponca City had 32 students representing PCPS. Students are selected to perform in the Red Carpet Honor Band through a competitive audition process, making it an exceptional opportunity to participate in one of the three performing ensembles.
Many band directors and Red Carpet Board members expressed appreciation for the PCPS facilities, event organization, and the hospitality of everyone involved. Thank you to the Instrumental Music Parents Association, student and parent volunteers, PCPS Instrumental Music staff, Julie Lawrence, Concert Hall Coordinator, and district administration for their support in making this event possible.
