Over the past few weeks, nine Blue Jays participated in honor bands hosted by the Louisiana Music Educators Association (LMEA). After participating in multiple rounds of competitive auditions against instrumental musicians from across Louisiana, the following students were named to 2021-22 LMEA honor bands.

Each year, local music educators from across the New Orleans region recognize a single outstanding woodwind, brass, and percussion instrumentalist. This year, senior Matthew Vuong was awarded the prestigious award in recognition of outstanding performance on flute.
