TUSD High School Musicians Wow in Multiple Performances at Beckman PAC

From the High School Honor Groups concert to Kids Concerts for fourth graders, the Beckman Performing Arts Center has been abuzz with inspiring performances this week.

Thursday evening, talented students from Beckman, Foothill and Tustin High Schools string orchestra, jazz band and wind ensembles performed beautifully for a packed house. And Friday morning, our Beckman orchestra and band students were back at it again as they entertained fourth graders from across Tustin Unified with their lively Kids Concert, made possible by support from the Tustin Area Council for Fine Arts (TACFA). A huge thank you to TACFA for their ongoing support of our students and the arts. In addition, our thanks to Jim Kollias, Jorge Ruvalcaba and our high school musicians for their inspiring performances.
