Morgan tried out for all-region orchestra in October. I knew she was nervous, but we wanted her to try for the experience. She was one of a select few to make the cut. We were so excited for her!!!
Last Friday she went to Monterey High School for an orchestra clinic. They had a conductor from San Antonio leading them. Students were there from all Lubbock districts and Plainview. They spent all day Friday rehearsing and learning with their peers. I went to pick her up at 5:30 and walked in while they were playing. I was shocked!!!! I really thought an older group or professional orchestra was playing. I found her director and asked where Morgan was and she pointed to the stage. There was my little girl making the most beautiful music....it took my breath away!
The next day we anxiously made our way to the auditorium to hear the best of Region 16 middle school orchestras. Friends and family joined us as we waited for the kids to perform. They treated us to three beautiful songs and Morgan left the stage with a huge smile. The students each received a patch for all-region. She came home with a nice plaque, t-shirt, and a CD for many hours of hearing her performance over and over. Congratulations Morgan, we are so proud of you!!!!
