Many things are different this year and that’s certainly the case for orchestra as students tried out for the All-Region Orchestra with more than half being named the Region 24 All-Region Orchestra. 

50 students took part in the auditions, which were all digital this year, and had 5 days to upload their recordings. From there the judges took over with 31 Redhawks accepted into the All-Region Orchestra with more than a dozen advancing to record for All-State Orchestra in a few weeks.
