Blue Valley band sophomores Bryan Wallraff, Stephen Hennerberg and Matt Cooper and seniors Ryan Cauffield, Abby Douglas and Ben Cooper qualified to play in the All-state band.

Hennerberg, Ben and Matt play trombone. Wallraff plays bassoon, Cauffield plays tuba and Douglas plays clarinet.

“It felt really good,” Matt said. “There’s a lot of good people in the state of Kansas.”

The students perform in Wichita Feb. 25-27.
