Ranchview Orchestra All-Region Results

Posted/span> on October 16, 2018 in District News, Fine Arts, Ranchview

On Saturday, despite driving rain, flooding streets, and the standard crippling fear that goes along with auditioning, we had ten brave students from the Ranchview Orchestra audition for membership into the TMEA Region 31 All-Region High School Symphony Orchestra. Orchestra all-region is always a very tough event as we are competing with our 4A classification against 5A and 6A schools.

Of the ten who auditioned, we placed six into the group! Please congratulate the following Ranchview orchestra members on a job well done:

Jaime Grider, string bass, 1^st alternate
Albert Yang, string bass, 6^th chair
Nathan Kong, violin 28^th chair
Jaeni Loh, violin 23^rd chair
Joseph Choi, violin 17^th chair
Esther Peng, violin 3^rd chair!

In addition to making All-Region, Joseph Choi and Esther Peng also qualified for the Area round of competition, meaning they have been approved to audition for the All-State level! We wish them well as they prepare for the next audition round in two weeks.

The all-region participants will get to enjoy a great musical experience playing professional level music at the Region 31 All-Region Clinic and Concert weekend in December. Once again, please congratulate these students with a “bravo!” on their hours of preparation, nerves of steel, and their great job representing our orchestra, school, and community! We are VERY proud of them!

McCoy Kindergarten Learns Fire Safety

Posted/span> on October 12, 2018 in District News, McCoy

On Oct. 12, the Kindergarten class at McCoy Elementary got to meet another community helper. Brad Hurtt, from the Mesquite Fire Department, visited with the class and explained what his job entails. Mr. Hurtt put on his fire gear and let students see what a firefighter looks like when battling a fire. While wearing his breathing tank, students could hear what the breathing apparatus sounds like. The demonstration was intended to alleviate fears many young children have when they encounter a firefighter in full gear. To further alleviate those fears, Mr. Hurtt handed his gear to Ms. Sughrue to put on. Demonstrating how a firefighter may enter a burning structure, Ms. Sughrue crawled on the floor with the gear on.
