Garrett Arensdorf was one of three Wartburg College students selected for the 2017 College Band Directors National Association Small Band Programs Intercollegiate Band.

Arensdorf, a music education major from Asbury, was selected to be a member of the tuba section with the 120-member band representing 59 schools. The band, conducted by Gary D. Green, emeritus professor of music and director of bands at the Frost School of Music at the University of Miami, will perform March 18 in the Kauffman Center for Performing Arts during the association's annual conference in Kansas City.

"I am extremely excited to be selected to attend this honor band. It is the largest achievement I have under my belt so far, and I wouldn’t have been able to get this far without my family, friends and instructors to support me," Arensdorf said.
