AVA 18Attack Sarah Sciacca is One Tough Player that makes beautiful music aslo!!



 AVA 18 Attack's Sarah Sciacca, two time CLHS State Honors Chamber Orchestra harpist, competed at New York City's The Lincoln Center, over the March 1st weekend. The CLHS Full Chamber Symphonic Orchestra brought home The Gold Cup, placing first in The Forte' (invitation-only) National Music Festival Competition!

Sarah, a harpist since 4th grade, is very grateful to her SCIS Orchestra Directors (Mrs. Jennifer Kidwell and Mrs. Lisa Black) and her CLHS Orchestra Directors (Mr. Kevin Black and Mr. Bryan Buffalo) for their years of support. For 7 years, Sarah and her Directors have balanced Orchestra practices, UIL's, TMEA's, and concerts, where Sarah would perform her compositions and often times race off to volleyball games, tournaments or practices, in addition to her private harp lessons.

What an amazing Senior year Sarah has had!  Lake Volleyball to State (their incredible varsity team breaking a state drought of over 20 years,) earning State Chamber Orchestra Honors (two years in a row placing first, TMEA) and earning The Gold Cup with CLHS's outstanding Full Chamber Symphonic Orchestra,  placing first at The Forte' National Music Festival Competition, performing in The Alice Tully Hall of New York City's Lincoln Center!  Such a momentous honor and performance, earning a standing ovation by all!

Sarah is committed to UT Tyler this fall, and will be pursuing her degree in nursing, with her career goal in labor and delivery. Congratulations Sarah, for your dedication and hard work!

We're proud of you!
