Don’t invite Libbie Milks to your New Year’s Eve party. She’ll be in Pasadena, California.
The Ada High School senior was recently selected to perform with the Bands of America Honor Band in the 2017 Rose Parade.
She will spend a week in southern California, where she will have rehearsals, performances at the Tournament of Roses Bandfest and Disneyland, special activities and a featured appearance in the world-famous parade.
Here’s how it came about:
Unknown to Libbie, Jonathan Lischak, Ada HS music teacher, submitted a tape of her playing the flute as part of the application process to be selected for the 300-piece band.
