Musicians Earn OMEA Honors

3/24/2026

Middle School musicians Lucas Beatty ’31 (alto saxophone), Ciarán McAvinchey ’30 (trumpet), and Noah Miyasaka ’30 (trumpet) were selected for the Ohio Music Education Association (OMEA) District 7 Middle School Honor Band. The boys spent the day at Mentor High School playing alongside students from Geauga, Lake, and eastern Cuyahoga counties. The group performed a public evening concert with the Honor Band in February.

In January, Upper School musicians competed in the Ohio Music Education Association Regional Solo & Ensemble Contest, each earning one of the two highest ratings. During a later assembly, the musicians each received a certificate and an OMEA Medal of Honor.

Congratulations to (front) Charlie Ansevin ’29 (Excellent, vocal), Sourya Adavi ’29 (Superior, violin), Kristian Knott ’28 (Excellent, piano); and (back) Alan Miller ’29 (Superior, piano), Michael Zhang ’27 (Superior, piano), and Will Bach ’29 (Excellent, bassoon) for their achievements.
