2024 All-Suburban Honors Orchestra

Thirteen students representing Ladue Middle School were recently selected to the St. Louis All-Suburban Middle School Honor Orchestra (for 7th and 8th graders) and Sixth-Grade Honor Orchestra. Seventh and eighth grade students participated in auditions in October, while students are nominated for the sixth-grade orchestra by their orchestra teacher. Both Honor Orchestras will rehearse over the next couple of months with students from across the region and perform a concert at Ladue Horton Watkins High School on January 11.
