The Cherokee High School Music Department directors and administration are proud to announce their students who were recently selected into the All South Jersey Music Ensembles.
The audition process starts long before the actual audition day. Students, their directors, and their private instructors began studying the audition requirements several months ahead of time. The students spent countless hours learning, practicing, and perfecting each aspect of the audition.
The directors and music parents of the Cherokee Music Department are very proud of each auditioning student. Although not every student is accepted into a performing honors ensemble, the experienced gained through the audition process is guaranteed to provide heightened skills in musicianship and invaluable life lessons. The school offers thanks for all the support shown toward these talented, young musicians.
