"Take time for work: it is the price of success.
Take time to think: it is the source of power.
Take time to play: that is the secret of youth.
Take time to read: that is the foundation of wisdom.
Take time to be friendly: that is the road to happiness."

Big congratulations to these exceptional ABSS musicians who showcased their skills at the 2025 Western Region Orchestra in Boone last weekend! Senior viola player Aslynn West from Walter M. Williams High School and junior trumpet player Christian Boudrealt from Western Alamance High School participated in the Honors Orchestra under Dr. Alexandra Dee's direction from Appalachian State University. Freshman bass player Michael-Andres Cruz from Williams not only performed in the Repertory Orchestra but earned 1st chair in his section! 🎵
The Repertory Orchestra was conducted by Williams' own Orchestra Director, Veronica Biscocho! North Carolina's orchestra program divides the state into eastern and western regions, each hosting special events featuring guest clinicians from across the country. So proud of our musical stars! 🌟
North Carolina is split into two conferences: eastern region and western region. Each region hosts events for NC orchestra students and invite guest clinicians from across the US. Mrs Biscocho, Williams High orchestra teacher, is the clinician and conductor this year for the Western Regional Orchestra, the honors orchestra for the western region.
Mark your calendars now!
Class of 2025- order now!
