Thank you for helping us make the 2022-2023 school year a great year for our Storms!

Our Storms enjoyed learning about Arkansas Composers such as Scott Joplin, Florence Price, William Grant Still, and Jeremy Crosmer when the Quapaw String Quartet came to RIS. This group is also apart of the Arkansas Symphony Orchestra!
Students listened to the songs, The Cascades Rag, Swing Low Sweet Chariot, Cumbia Y Congo, The Quiet One, and Escapades at Dawn.
The Quapaw String Quartet mentioned that we had such well mannered and well behaved students! Many thanks to the Russellville Symphony Guild for providing this opportunity for our students!
