🎶 Proud Moment for Our Musicians! 🎶
These students were nominated and selected to represent our school district at the Region V Festival of Music. On November 25th, they spent the day in Gregory rehearsing and ended the evening with a wonderful concert.
They worked hard, made memories, and had some fun along the way.
Job well done, students! 💙👏

🤧Thank you, Burke Senior Center, for your generous donation of Kleenex. We truly appreciate your support!🤧
We had a wonderful day of friends and music on Nov. 18 in Platte at the Region V Festival of Music! These students were nominated and selected to represent Burke Music, and their early-morning start and full day of rehearsals led to a truly memorable concert. They even came in during Cougar Days and after school to prepare.
We also want to recognize one more dedicated student, Ryker Peck, who put in all the hard work but was unable to attend due to illness.
We couldn’t be more proud of our young musicians!
