Congrats Conrad And Have A Blast

Vicksburg teens in the Mississippi Lions All-State Band attend a farewell picnic sponsored by the Vicksburg Lions Club. The band will leave June 21 for New York, Washington, D.C., and Williamsburg, Va. They were supposed to travel to Thailand, the site of the Annual Lions Club International Convention. But social unrest altered plans. The band includes 140 high-achieving musicians from across the state. About 900 auditioned. From left are Ricky Woerner, 17, son of Eric Woerner and Anne Woerner; Alexis Jones, 18, daughter of Edell Nixon and Sandra Trevillion; Della Loflin, 16, daughter of Susan and Russ Loflin; Conrad Reihsmann, 17, son of Oscar and Bunny Reihsmann; and Rowe Rhett, 18, son of Glenn and Gail Rhett. Other members are Aliesha Phillips, 16, daughter of Henry Phillips and Stephanie Combs; Lauren Proctor, 14, daughter of Kenneth and Melissa Proctor; and Shane Bowser, 15, son of Chris and Kim Bowser.
