Ryle Students Chosen for NKY Select Bands

This past Saturday, 58 students from Ryle auditioned for the Northern Kentucky Select Bands. Thirty-one students earned places within these prestigious ensembles out of the 150 seats available!

This is not only a record high number for Ryle, but for any middle school or high school in the sixth district in the history of the event. Four students placed first in the district on their respective instruments in the advanced Wind Ensemble. Twenty percent of the NKY select bands are comprised of Ryle Band Students! Congratulations!
