Bensalem High School senior Samantha Bajek, who recently performed first trumpet at the PMEA Region VI Band Festival at Downingtown High School West along with over 120 of the best band students from 45 schools in Bucks, Montgomery, Chester, Philadelphia and Delaware counties, once again represented BHS on the trumpet at the PMEA Region VI Orchestra Festival at the end of March.
Additionally, Bajek, Ethan Hinshaw, Emiliano Quinones and Margaret MacAdams performed at the PMEA Region VI Chorus Festival at Quakertown High School. These students were selected by audition, competing against students from schools in Bucks, Montgomery, Chester, Philadelphia and Delaware counties. Quinones was a featured soloist during the concert and, along with Hinshaw, Bajek and MacAdams, will move on to represent BHS at the PMEA All-State Festival, held in April in Erie. Hinshaw, MacAdams and Bajek all ranked No. 1 in their sections.
