Subject: Eau Gallie Orchestra Students Earn All-State Orchestra Status!

Dear Colleagues,

I would like to extend a heartfelt congratulations to Erin Turingan (cello) and Patrick Cogan (string bass) for earning the privilege to perform in the 11/12 All-State Orchestra in January at the Florida Music Educators State Conference in Tampa. They were chosen out of hundreds of musicians from across the state of Florida through a rigorous audition process.

If you have these students in your class, please congratulate them on their well-deserved honor!


Musically yours,
Ms. Bobbe Jo Butler
Eau Gallie High School Orchestra Director
