Logan County High School band members, freshmen Claire Dayton and Cooper Gregory, have found yet another avenue to hone and share their musical abilities. Both recently auditioned for and have been accepted into the Bowling Green Youth Orchestra.
In the orchestra, Claire will be playing the clarinet. She is the daughter of David and Kelly Dayton of Franklin.
Cooper will be a percussionist with the orchestra. He is the son of Jon and Laura Gregory of Auburn.
The Bowling Green Youth Orchestrais a full symphony orchestra open to students from 6th-12th grade who play an orchestral instrument and have at least two years of experience on their instrument. The BGYO plays classical, movie, musical, pops, and other types of symphonic music. In a typical season, the orchestra performs two formal concerts. The BGYO is conducted by Dr. Brian St. John, Baker Professor of Music and Director of Orchestras at Western Kentucky University.
