Polk MS  Region Results

10/14/09 Good morning everyone! I wanted to pass along some great news from the Orchestra Department:  These kids have been working on their All District and All Region music since the first day of school.  They have put in countless hours at home and at 7:15 am sectionals, and Aaron and I are really really proud of all the kids who have taken on this challenge.  All District and All Region are basically like the “All Star Team” for orchestra.  They are the very best musicians from our District and Region.   We had our All District auditions last night here at Polk.  We had 26 kids who made the All District Orchestra.  Please give these kids a big congratulations!  On Saturday, Oct. 24th, we have about 80 musicians who are auditioning for All Region Orchestra against other musicians from CFB as well as Frisco and Lewisville. Thanks for your support of what these kids do!!     Diaz Jason Dimas Tracie Franco Zyanya Garcia Vega Marcos Glasser-Kerr Sophia Grandell Nicholas Guerrero Elizabeth Hahn Elizabeth Hong Joyce Hornquist Peri Johnson Andrew Johnson William Johnson Charlie Lanuza-Brown Raven Niswanger Jaylyn Oppliger Tannah Park Bryan Perez Karen Pike Keely Salas-Vega Stepanie Sanchez Alexandra Solis Adriana Tavallaee Zach Taylor Abby Vlasak Meagan Vlasak Will Michelle Gauthier Head Orchestra Director Ted Polk Middle School Check us out on the web!!! http://cfbstaff.cfbisd.edu/polkorchestra/
