“WHOSE KID MADE IT INTO THE US NATIONAL YOUTH ORCHESTRA?”
What a silly headline – all of these “kids” have parents, who are all right now very proud of their children.
Congratulations everybody!
Is California a province of China? 90% Chinese, maybe couple of Koreans in both orchestras. Overall they are way more than 5% of the US population, which in the race-mad obsession in the US it’s a good thing. But noooo, you innocent/unaware knaves, they don’t count in the minority quotas n woke virtue signaling games. ONLY Blacks count. Sick.
Great to see the wide geographic representation. Bravo to them all! Do we know who the conductors are?
