2009 - 2010 Clark County School District Honor Orchestra
Nevada ASTA is pleased to announce that this year's Honor Orchestra was a success. The budget cuts were threatening this year's Honor Orchestra. The proposal was to fund only one High School group. In early 2009, there was some discussion with Dr. Rick McEnaney, the Coordinator of Secondary Fine Arts. Our past president, Chuck Cushinery, presented a proposal to the NVASTA board. It was agreed that NVASTA would co-sponsor the CCSD Honor Orchestra and keep current format with two high school orchestras and one middle school group.
Many thanks to our guest conductors
