The Coastal Communities Concert Band (CCCB) awarded four music scholarships to San Dieguito Union High School District students at its annual Salute to Young Musicians Concert April 27.
For more than 20 years, the band has invited San Dieguito District students to rehearse and perform in this concert. In addition, students could choose to audition for $750 scholarships and the $1,500 Caneva Scholarship. As part of its commitment to promote music education, the band has donated more than $55,000 in scholarships to high school students in the San Dieguito District since the program’s inception.
Caleb Liu, a bassoonist and senior at Canyon Crest Academy, was selected as the winner of the Caneva Scholarship. Caleb receives $1,500 and an invitation to perform as the featured guest artist at the band’s Salute to Young Musicians Concert in 2025. The award is named in memory of long-time CCCB director Don Caneva.
Awarded $750 scholarships were clarinetist Logan Bender, a junior at San Dieguito High School Academy; Jun Kim, a clarinetist and freshman at Canyon Crest Academy; and Lauren Suh, a flutist and junior at Torrey Pines High School.
Candidates were selected by their school band directors and auditioned before a panel of CCCB board members and the band’s conductor. Scholarship recipients may use their awards for private lessons, instruments or summer music camps. Nearly 30 students from La Costa Canyon High School, Torrey Pines High School, Canyon Crest Academy and San Dieguito High School Academy performed with the band at the Salute to Young Musicians concert, which was made possible by a grant from the City of Encinitas.
The Coastal Communities Concert Band based in Encinitas is an award-winning symphonic band of more than 75 musicians who live throughout San Diego County. CCCB, under the auspices of MiraCosta College, is supported and operated by the Coastal Communities Concert Band Foundation, a nonprofit 501c3 corporation.
