Ketchikan High School student Julia Spigai has been accepted into the All Northwest Honor Band, and will participate in a virtual series of workshops for the 2021 All Northwest Honor Festival.
The All Northwest Honor Band includes student musicians from eight states, Spigai explained during a Monday afternoon interview with the Daily News. The Kayhi junior is the one student from Southeast Alaska in the band this year.
Spigai has played the clarinet since sixth-grade, and began playing the tenor saxophone in seventh grade. I come from a long line of musicians and I ve always just had a really great love for music and instrumental activities, she said.
