After numerous years of finishing in the top 10 but falling short of the gold, Lake Orchestra finally did it! The Clear Lake High School Full Orchestra under the direction of Bryan Buffaloe, Kevin Black, and John Law performed their Honor Orchestra Concert on Friday, February 11, 3:30pm in the Lila Cockrell Theatre in downtown San Antonio at the TMEA Convention/Clinic. The last time this amazing feat was accomplished by Lake Orchestra dates back to 20 years ago in 1991 under the direction of James Kidwell.

 

Thank you to all of our supporters, families, friends, private teachers, and past alumni that were part of this journey. We could not have done this without you. Congratulations to all our hard-working students on the stunning performance and accomplishment.
