To say I'm proud of our students seems like an understatement. I have watched these students work their tails off this entire year. Their dedication, months of hard work, and beautiful musicianship were on full display at 8:00am this Saturday morning at the KMEA workshop. They represented Augusta Kansas and USD402 so well! In addition to our Concert Choir singing this morning, Mikaela Tymony was called up at the last minute to fill in a spot for the 2026 All-State Treble Ensemble. In three days she learned an entire set of music and performed beautifully at the All State Concert. Way to go, Mikaela! These young people have raised the bar for those coming up and are leaving a legacy at AHS that will inspire many students in the future. I'm proud to be an Oriole and a part of Augusta Choirs!
