Jacob Abarbanell selected for state intercollegiate band

2017 Feb 9

Jacob Abarbanell, of Galivants Ferry, SC, was one of nine student musicians from the Coastal Carolina University Symphonic Band who were selected out of more than 300 statewide collegiate performers to participate in the 19th Annual South Carolina College Band Directors National Association (CBDNA) Intercollegiate Band at Furman University Jan. 19-21.

Rodney Dorsey, associate professor of conducting and director of bands and the Oregon Wind Ensemble at the University of Oregon, conducted the 100-member S.C. intercollegiate ensemble.

While Coastal students have participated in the S.C. intercollegiate band over the past decade, this is the second year in a row that CCU has had eight or more of its student musicians selected. The two-and-a-half day event included a rigorous rehearsal schedule, sectionals and individual practice sessions in the McAlister Auditorium of the Department of Music.
