Congratulations to (from L to R) Ian M., Jessica I., and Katherine J. for being chosen to be part of the 2007 Cobb County Middle School Honor Orchestra. After auditioning, they were chosen from hundreds of middle school string players to participate. The performance, at McEachern HS on Saturday, April 14th, was a wonderful example of the wealth of talented musicians being developed in Cobb County. Jessica and Katherine are 8th graders who will be part of the Lassiter HS Orchestra next year. Ian is a 7th grader! Congratulations for this honor that your hard work has brought you!
