This last weekend, Peyton Griggs, Avyakt Kalaghatagi, and Arrison Chin rehearsed and performed with each of their respective Region orchestras and put on a fabulous display of skill and musicality! We are so proud of the work that they put into the audition process, preparation of the selected pieces, and the concert.

We also want to say a huge thank you to the parents of these students for without your support, your student wouldn’t have had this amazing opportunity!

So proud of our kiddos. Go Orchestra Cowboys!
