Millville student Tori honored for statewide and regional band honors; superintendent presents certificate

The school committee honored student musician Tori for a series of achievements that culminated in selection to the All‑Eastern festival, a multi‑state ensemble that will perform in Rochester on April 16. Tori’s accomplishments were introduced by a committee member and described by Tori’s mother, Lisa, who recounted Tori’s strong audition record, a Macy’s Parade appearance by the band and community support.

Tori spoke briefly about her plans, telling the committee she "passed my pre‑screening into Northwestern in Chicago," and committee members presented a certificate and took a photo. The committee highlighted the event as the furthest a district student has advanced in the superintendent’s 22 years of service and encouraged the student to keep staff informed about travel and logistics.

Nut graf: The recognition is ceremonial but notable for district arts programming: members noted the district has a strong marching band presence and that Tori’s selection is an uncommon, high‑level honor for a student from the district. The superintendent and members praised the student and family and invited updates on travel plans and any fundraising or logistical needs.

Ending: Committee members congratulated Tori and asked staff to coordinate any travel arrangements or school support needed for the April festival and any college auditions.
