They were Erika Eichenmiller, Averie Shaughnessy, Ashley Owoc, Michael Murray, Ethan Wightkin, Dan Romagna, Jordan Rininger, Karyn Drombosky, Chris Hartnett, Mark Solomon, and Bernie Metro. Five of these students successfully auditioned in the top of their section and were selected to represent Gateway and PMEA District Band at the Region Band in February.
