Matt Haley, a Hillsdale Student, was accepted to the All-State Honor Band. Matt Haley (8th grade Trumpet) will be traveling to Fresno California. He was accepted based on a CD audition with required music that we spent the month of November recording. Over 1,000 students applied from across the state from 7th-12th grade.  Only 6 middle schools in San Diego county have students accepted. Hillsdale since its inception in 2003 has had 24 students accepted. You can see the list of all students, schools, and districts at CBDA.org. Matt will spend 3 days rehearsing music with a top notch music conductor then perform in a concert featuring the best colleges and honor groups. Matt will also have an opportunity to meet with college recruiters as they recruit from this event. I have had students in the past make great college connections like UCLA, USC, Berkley, and Pepperdine.
