CATA participates in NCHO
Congratulations to Michael Jeffries (bassoon) and Kyle Johnson (trumpet) on their participation in the 2014 North Carolina All State Honors Orchestra this past weekend in Winston-Salem. Michael and Kyle earned placement in the honors orchestra based on an audition process and are the first two students from CATA to do so. The honors orchestra clinic kicked off the annual North Carolina Music Educators' Association convention and culminated with a performance at the Steven Center in Winston-Salem where Michael and Kyle performed for a full house of music educators from across the state. We are so proud of their accomplishments and wish them well as they begin the 2015 audition season for honor bands and orchestras.
