Two 2014 Noblesville High School graduates and musicians are the recipients of the Noblesville Cultural Arts Commission Scholarship.
Recipients are Hannah Groves, daughter of Doyle and LeeAnna Groves, and Joseph Wiegand, son of Mark and Christy Wiegand. Students applied and were selected based on their service, scholarship and artistic achievements by the NCAC Scholarship Committee.
“They are both outstanding musicians,” said Eric Thornbury, Noblesville Schools’ music dept. chairman and directors of bands.
For the past two years Wiegand has represented Noblesville on the All-State Orchestra and All-State Band. Last year he was picked for the violin and oboe and this year he was selected for the oboe – the instrument he played last year. Wiegand will study oboe performance and political science at Indiana University in the fall.
Groves will attend Butler University in the fall and major in music composition with a cello.
“Hannah’s been involved in the writers group every Thursday. It’s a special group and a special leader,” NHS teacher Bill Kenley said. “Both are wonderful candidates. I’m proud of both of them.”
