Thank you to all who were brave and put themselves out there for this opportunity. Note that no seniors actually auditioned- so there will be additional opportunities in future years for all candidates if you choose. Based on a variety of factors the following students have been selected to conduct music at the February concert. *Please let me know if I can support you in any specific goals and I will look for opportunities*
