Congratulations Katie !

for the 3rd year in a row, Katie has made All-State Bass in Orchestra. Once again she is in the top orchestra (Symphony). Her family, friends and even school are extreamly proud of her.

Once again she will be traveling to San Antonio to partcipate in the Texas Music Educators Association convention with the best HS musicians in the state. At this convention the students get to practice and hang out with kids from all over the state. They congragate in small groups to discuss the theory of minor chord progressions combined with sticatto harmonic resonance. They joke about 3/4 to 5/4 syncapated transitions. Of course with the range of ages there is always the occasional hazing prank like bow-whipping the younger students while they are made to play major scales left handed or sometimes offering to sell them the highly coveted "Hungarian Rosin Cheese". But it's not all fun and games, and it's back to the music.
