On May 6, my family attended the Butler High School Orchestra concert. It has been a pleasure to attend these events for the past eight years. My daughter, who is a senior this year, has been playing violin and viola since the fifth grade.

Unfortunately, her final concert ended on a bad note as the graduating seniors were not recognized by their instructor. However, the seniors in the symphonic band were acknowledged that same evening.

A student of music is a student of music, regardless of the instrument they play or group in which they perform, and should be treated and recognized the same.

I would like to list the senior orchestra students here: Deidra Anthony, Zane Barnett, Cassidy Buzard, Maggie Calvert, Carlos Cantera, Allison Clarke, Sydney Costa, Sarah Flick, Erin Grigorovich, Wesley McCurdy, Alexis Price, Lauren Skidmore, Carolyn Stirling, Abby Wellner, Kaitlyn Dodgson, Gracie Ryan, Taylor Frankenstein, Kerrigan Neff, Mike Snow, Kenny Campbell, Jacob Cypher, Bryant Liebler, Derek Rankin and Abbey Thompson.

I would like to thank these students for the years of enjoyment they have brought to us all.
