Weekly Update

Congratulations to the following students who represented Palmetto Ridge High School in the Collier County Honor Band: Danillo Andrade, Shelby Blocker, Ellie Carvajal, Nikolai Coletta, Sonia Lountchenko, Leonel Pena, Eric Robinson, Zachary Seymour, and Savannah Stiehl. The 79-piece High School Honor Band was conducted by Dr. Kyle Prescott, the Director of Bands from Florida Atlantic University. During their time with Dr. Prescott, the students had the opportunity to meet two composers of two pieces they were preparing for their concert. We had a great weekend of music making. Thank you to all who came out to support the students during their concert.
