“The invitation to perform at the Midwest Clinic comes from a rigorous application process,” said John Morrison, CFISD director of fine arts. “CFISD is always proud to hear that a group will represent our district on the international stage in Chicago. The Bridgeland Symphony Orchestra will be a fine representative this year of the music programs in CFISD.”
