Elmore County High Freshman
Makes All State
Blake Jones is currently a freshman in the Elmore County High
School “Maroon Machine” marching band, and he is already making
a huge impact in the program. As an 8th grader in the program,
Blake was the first middle school student to make All District on the
clarinet in over 20 years. This year he was the first freshman to make
White Band All-State in over 22 years. Blake went up against 38 other
clarinets ranging from freshman to seniors to make All-State. This
didn’t happen by chance; Blake is a hard-working young man who
has clear goals set before him, and he knows how to obtain them.
Blake has sat first or second chair in the high school band since he
entered it in the 7th grade.
Not only is Blake good at clarinet he also excels in many other areas
in his life. Blake is a superior piano player who is constantly playing
for competitions and recitals. Outside of music Blake is a starter on
the high school soccer team as a freshman and plays soccer with
AYSO in the fall. His grades are also outstanding with Blake making
A and B’s. Elmore County High is certain Blake will continue to
strive for the highest in everything that he does and will continue to
shape the family called the “Maroon Machine.”
