Twenty Dreher Students and Class of 2024 Graduates Participate in National Recording Project with Virtual Guitar Orchestra

Twenty Dreher High School guitar students and Class of 2024 graduates participated in a recording project with the Virtual Guitar Orchestra and Augustine Strings. The project, a performance of “The Sun” by Ronald Pearl, was released on YouTube November 6.

The students were asked to participate in the project last year and spent most of the second semester practicing their parts. To participate, each student had to record themselves playing their part and send it to the Virtual Guitar Orchestra.

Dreher students participated in the performance alongside students from New York, Connecticut and Hawaii.

“It was a big honor to be asked by the Virtual Guitar Orchestra to participate in this multi-state collaboration. These students put in so much time and hard work to learn the music and then record themselves individually. I am hopeful that we will be able to participate in projects like these in the future,” said Dreher guitar program director Benjamin Broughton.

The following students and graduates were involved in the project:

  • Peyton All
  • Katie Bauer*
  • Aidan Dong*
