Madelynne Siefkes, a Great Bend Middle School 7th grader, participated in the John Phillip Sousa Jr. Honor Band on Saturday at the University of Kansas. She auditioned this fall and was selected.
Band members rehearse together Friday evening and Saturday morning before the afternoon concert. This is her second year being selected. Last year the concert was virtual.
Siefkes is part of the GBMS 7th grade band and the GBMS Jazz Band. She also studies privately with Kurtis Koch.
