held positions as the principal alto saxophonist in the Davidson County
All-County Band and has additionally placed very highly in seating for the
Northwest North Carolina All-District Band. Last year Mr. Cory was eligible
to audition for the North Carolina All-State Band. |
Concerto Winner, Scott Cory!
During the summer of 2007 Mr. Cory completed summer studies at Cannon Music
Camp at Appalachian State University in Boone, North Carolina where he
performed as principal alto
saxophonist for the Symphonic Band and in the Jazz Ensemble II. At Cannon,
Mr. Cory also performed lead alto and soprano in one of two Honors Saxophone
Quartets. Currently, Mr. Cory is a private student of Dr. David Kirby at
Pfeiffer University. Additionally, he has studied with Dr. Scott Kallestad of Appalachian State
University and Dr. Artie Almeida, a free-lance professional saxophonist from
Orlando, FL. In addition to his love and passion for music, Scott plays for
the Central Davidson golf team and is currently ranked number one in his
graduating class. Mr. Cory’s plans for college include majoring in
Chemistry, Saxophone Performance or possibly double majoring in both.
Ideally he would like to one day play soprano or alto saxophone in a
professional saxophone quartet that focuses on classical repertoire. |
