Congratulations to our students in Symphonic Winds and Wind Ensemble on a successful State MPA! Last week Thursday we were so proud to bring 100 students to State. It was the first time in PRHS history that the second concert band qualified for State with a Superior at District, and for the first time in 7 years, our Wind Ensemble brought home a State Superior Plaque! Thank you to all of our parent volunteers who came to chaperone. It was definitely a night to remember!
