GMSD Orchestra Students named to All-West Groups!

The Germantown Municipal School District is proud to celebrate the outstanding achievements of our student musicians and dedicated band directors at the recent All-West auditions.

Kudos to our exceptional strings directors, Dr. Long Long Kang, Stephen Short, and Lacy Thurman, for their guidance and mentorship. Their commitment has led to remarkable performances by our students who auditioned and earned places in these elite groups. GMSD continues to lead the region in placements, giving students the opportunity to learn and perform challenging music and work with guest directors. Many will also go on to participate in All State, a distinction akin to winning a state championship.
