FINE ARTS
We are
pleased to announce that two of students were chosen as an outstanding
soloist at the Texas State Solo and Ensemble Contest held on the campus of
the University of Texas on Memorial Day. Sophomore
Sarah Meidel on flute, who happens to also be one of our All State band
members this year. Junior
Joseph Valenicia on trumpet, which this was the second consecutive year
winning this award. Of all the
students who performed over the two day event, each judge was only allowed to
award 2 winners... one for each day. This essentially means that Sarah was
the best flute player of the entire day and Joseph was the best trumpet
player of the day. The trumpet judge is the professor of trumpet at LSU and
asked Joseph to audition for him next year. TWCP ATHLETICS CAVALIER DUGOUT CLUB: CP Baseball Dugout Club's last meeting will
