All three students are members of the LHHS A Cappella Choir under the direction of Kari Gilbertson and Aaron Lucero, and Peyton and Emily are members of Espree. Brady is Drum Major of the Wildcat Marching Band and a member of the LHHS Symphonic Band. This is Emily’s second year to earn All-State honors.

The students are 3 of just 1,600 students from across the state selected from over 60,000 musicians competing this year. They will participate in 3 days of rehearsals directed by nationally recognized conductors at TMEA, and their performance for thousands of attendees will be the rousing close to the event.

Congratulations to these talented Wildcats.
