Clara Cagle and Tyler Winningham were selected as the best performers on their instruments in Jefferson and Shelby Counties. Clara Cagle and Kaitlyn Thomas, both from Mortimer Jordan, were selected as the top two performers on their instrument (bassoon); as "unassigned", they will compete at a later date with other performers on their instrument from around the state for All-State chair placement. We are very proud of these students and their teachers!
