Tough

Bethany Harper, a junior at Fayetteville High School, center, plays the clarinet along with other members of area high school bands during rehearsal in preparation for an afternoon of concerts as a part of the Arkansas School Band and Orchestra Association's Region VII All-Region Junior High and High School Bands Clinics and Concerts at Har-Ber High School in Springdale.

I was asked to gather photographs from this event for all four papers for which I work, which means I needed to find students from high schools in Benton and Washington counties. It seemed easy, but when I got there, it was difficult to tell which schools the students were from. I shot several photos and, during a break, got their names and the schools they attend. I was so glad to have found students from different schools.
