Congrats to the all of the McLean HS orchestras, bands, and choirs for their AWESOME performances!

Special shout out to our student conductor, Tashi Gyatso, and soloists Minseon Kim and Charlie Tucker of the Philharmonic Orchestra for earning the coveted Maestro awards for their outstanding work on Josef Suk's Serenade for Strings.
