From today's issue of Ladue News comes this report: To say that the Kirkwood High School Orchestra's trip to Carnegie Hall went well would be an understatement. More than 300 family and friends made the trip last week to see the students perform during the 2010 Instrumental Musical Festival. Kirkwood was one of only three music groups selected to perform, and we're told that orchestra members received a standing ovation after each of their four pieces. Longtime orchestra director PATRICK JACKSON was said to be 'walking on air' following the performance.
We shouldn't be surprised with the great tradition of excellent music education at Kirkwood High. Way to go Musical Pioneers!
I was at the 100th anniversary luncheon of a St. Louis area Daughters of the American Revolution chapter today and in chatting with our State Curator, who cares for our beautiful Victorian mansion statehouse in Boonville, it turns out she is a KHS alum! We are everywhere!!! Remember to nominate someone for Alumni Hall of Fame! See my post for all the information!
