Senior named to Indiana All-State Band
(February 16, 2015) — Concordia Lutheran High School senior Christopher Pyles has been selected to participate in the 55th Annual Indiana All-State High School Band Festival sponsored by the Indiana Bandmasters Association.

Dr. Andrew Mast from Lawrence University will direct the 84-piece band.
All members will participate in a series of activities including seating auditions, sectionals and full rehearsals from March 13-15. A free grand finale concert will be presented at 2:30 p.m. March 15 in the Elliott Hall of Music on the Purdue University – West Lafayette campus.
