All-State Guitar Honor Festival of Performance

Ayden Davis, a guitar student at Many Farms High School, auditioned and was selected for the All-State Guitar Honor Festival of Performance. Only 40 students in the state of Arizona were selected for this honor, and he was the only student from the Navajo Nation represented.

As part of the Arizona Music Educators Association Convention in Mesa, Arizona, Ayden's guitar group performed seven pieces of music in various styles, including an Arizona musical premiere.

Chuck Hulihan, Guitar Program Director for Glendale Community College and Martha Masters, Assistant Professor at Arizona State University, served as clinician/conductors for the Honor Ensemble. Ryan Ayers, composer of Folds, also attended and was a clinician for the event.
