Practice gets Clarkston kids to Carnegie Hall

Clarkston High School music students were in the Big Apple this week, performing with musicians from across the county.
The CHS Symphonic Wind Ensemble, under the direction of Michael Lewis, performed at the 11th annual National Youth Concert at Carnegie Hall, March 16.
Joining the ensemble on stage were associate directors Justin Harris and Shelley Schwaderer Roland.
Bands, orchestras, and choirs were selected by audition to perform at the spring series of concerts. Ensembles and their soloists come from as far away as California, Texas, and Florida to perform.
The 80 Clarkston students visited many NYC highlights including the’Statue of Liberty and 9-11 Memorial, and attended a musical on their four-day trip.??
