We’re thrilled to announce that eight students from St. Vrain successfully auditioned into the prestigious Western States Honor Orchestra Festival at UNC, with three Falcons selected for this honor. Please join us in congratulating Jonathan Sanchez (viola), Fernando Gurrola (viola), and Shea Archie (cello) as they head to Western States Honor Orchestra this Thursday.
