Congratulations to the BDB students who made the Reno Philharmonic Youth Orchestras!

Congratulations to these Billinghurst students for making it into the Reno Philharmonic Youth Orchestras.  The competition was especially fierce this year and all students should be proud of themselves for the work they did preparing for the audition.  I am told that the Reno Philharmonic Youth Orchestras has the fifth largest number of students auditioning in the nation.  The Youth Symphony will be traveling to Seattle and Vancouver next summer to share their music and be ambassadors for Reno.

Congratulations!
