Lukas A auditioned and earned a spot in one of the Austin Classical Guitar ensembles at the end of last year (2025), as an 8th grader—a tremendous accomplishment that speaks to his talent, dedication, and hard work. Tonight, he had his very first performance with the ensemble, sitting in the front row, second from the left, and it was absolutely amazing to see him shine on stage. His focus, skill, and passion for music were evident in every note, and afterwards, he expressed how proud he is to be a Gus Garcia Man. He even asked us to send his greetings and say hello to everyone at school!
This performance was just a “warm-up” concert to kick off their season, giving the students an opportunity to practice and showcase their talents in a supportive environment. As November approaches and the ensemble begins performing a more formal and extensive program, I’ll be sure to share the upcoming concert dates so everyone can celebrate Lukas and his fellow musicians in action. His journey is a wonderful example of how our students continue to grow and excel beyond the classroom, embracing both academics and the arts with pride.
