Emily Crutchfield - Connor Cunningham music scholarship
Ethan Payne - National School Orchestra Association Director's Award
Ryleigh Franklin - Arion Award

“The students ended the year on a high note,” EHS orchestra director Victoria Voumard said. “They performed some serious literature like the Rutter 'Suite for Strings' and Mendelssohn's 'Hebrides Overture.' The violin soloist Ryleigh Franklin gave a solid and musical performance.”

The concert ended on a strong note with what Voumard described as “an up-beat medley" of Rolling Stones hits.

“It's was a celebration of another great year and many accomplishments,” she said.
