My favorite memories of high school are any of the amazing events with Evergreen's performing arts, whether it be performing in the choir concerts, working on the musical, or cracking jokes with Mr. cruse.

My advice for underclassman is to get involved as much as you can in this program, it’s something I will never regret or forget.

Congrats Kayla! We can't wait to see where you land!

05/05/2020

Today we celebrate Ellie Cothran!

My favorite memories from high school were playing at CMEA at the Broadmoor hotel and performing at CHASAA with the school orchestra.

My best advice for underclassmen is to just be yourself because everyone is unique and being yourself is the best version of you that you can be.

Congrats Ellie! Go Rams!

After High School, I am attending the Leeds School of Business at CU Boulder.

My favorite memories from high school include all of my friends and the experiences that the Orchestra family experienced together. I will be forever grateful for that.

My advice for underclassmen is to enjoy and be grateful of where you are because time goes very quickly and high school will be over before you know it.

Congrats Mariah! Go BUFFS!

05/04/2020

I played for a lot of ensembles, but my favorite memory is when the entire battery shared a butterscotch candy by taking turns sucking on it.

My advice for underclassmen is to be more like Ryan Sontag.🤔

05/03/2020

Highlighting Becca Poplinger!

Becca is going to CU Denver under their pre-med program with an undeclared major.

Her favorite memories from high school are mostly being with her friends. She loved her freshman marching band year, Zodiac.

Advice for underclassmen:
Don't take everything so seriously. You're a kid, take the time to have fun and be yourself. Don't worry about what anyone thinks about you. Nothing is going to last forever, the best thing you can learn now, is how to forgive and forget. Don't waste your time dwelling on the past because you'll miss the present.

Congrats Becca! Go out and do great things!

05/03/2020

Today we celebrate Lauren Oeser

Lauren says:

I plan on taking a gap year after I graduate high school. During this year, I will be practicing my violin and preparing for college auditions/college music programs.

My favorite memories from high school were the Madrigal faires, going to CHSAA with the whole orchestra, and going to CMEA this year. I really liked being a part of the big performing arts family.

My advice for underclassmen is to use your high school years in whatever way you think will help you be as successful as you strive to be. Most importantly, have fun while this time lasts. You won’t get another high school experience in your life.

Congrats Lauren! We can't wait to see you fly!

05/01/2020

Showcasing Ari Williams!

Ari says:

I will be attending Minneapolis College of Art and Design with a major in animation and a minor in creative writing.

My favorite memory from high school was my freshman year marching show in the finals in Grand Junction and all of the memories down there.

Some advice I have for freshman is to look for the good in everything. even though things might seem down, you’re here for a reason. hold onto that.

Congratulations Ari! Go Grizzlies!

05/01/2020

Our next Senior is Morgan Nusser

Morgan tells us:

I plan to go to college at KU (University of Kansas). I will be majoring in marine biology and minoring in the performing arts. I don't really have a favorite memory. But if I had to say I would say it was state freshman year. I loved the fun that was there. Honestly the fact that we went that far for once in our lives was just amazing. No one but this graduating class knew what it felt like, and now we are leaving out legacy behind. For ALL of the underclassman, just remember what you do to a person will stick with them FOREVER. There are some people that are going to be leaving the school this fall and they will forever be haunted by what you did or said to them.

Congrats Morgan! Go Jayhawks!

04/30/2020

Our second senior for today is Sean Moran!

Sean is planning to go to college at CSU in Fort Collins, majoring in Business Administration with a concentration in Computer Information Systems. He tells us that his favorite memories from high school are napping in a fort in the ensemble room during indoor percussion season.

His advice for younger students is to "Do your part but don’t forget to have fun!"

Sean, we wish you the best of luck! Go Rams!

04/30/2020

And our next EHS Instrumental Music Class of 2020 Graduate... Liv Heyner!

I’m attending CU Boulder in the fall as an English major, and I’m planning on getting licensed to teach at a secondary level. Some of my favorite high school experiences took place at marching and winter percussion competitions, and I also enjoyed peer mentoring a kindergarten class at Wilmot and volunteering. I definitely advise freshmen to join clubs and volunteer. These offer great opportunities to meet a variety of new people!

Congratulations Liv! Go Buffs!
