![Junior Yueheng Wang's piece, “Of Mountains and Seas,” is played by Ladue High School's top orchestra and band classes April 4. He wrote it in June 2023, drawing inspiration from an ancient Chinese novel titled “Classics of Mountains and Seas.” Wang’s parents and compositional teacher sat in the audience to support him throughout the performance. Many of Wang’s friends, who played the piece, also showed their encouragement. “A lot of my friends were really enthusiastic — [especially] the wind players,” Wang said. “A lot of them would come up to me, [would] want me to help them and would come to seminar every day. It was such a group effort, and it felt like a relief that [the piece] was in good hands.”](https://laduetoday.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Screen-Shot-2024-05-11-at-11.39.35-AM-801x1200.png)

Mandalapu found that practicing in class helped her overcome stage fright during her performances. “When [I] get on stage, I'm nervous I'm going to forget, even though I've done it for so long,” Mandalapu said. “There's still that little bit of stage fright [when] I second-guess myself that I don't know it enough, but I do because I've been practicing for a whole year.”](https://laduetoday.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Sahasra-6-Large-1200x844.jpeg)
![April 4, Twinda Murry conducts her last formal concert at the Ladue Performing Arts Center. However, her pursuit in music did not stop there.

![April Dalton cooks Bananas Foster, a dessert consisting of bananas sautéd in butter, sugar and cinnamon. The bananas were cooked over a fire with rum and served atop a scoop of vanilla ice cream. “[Cooking] is not just like reading a piece of paper and making it happen," Dalton said.

![Taylor practices with teammates in the Nielson Gym. Taylor was given the position of backspot, the cheerleader who braces the ankles of fliers and calls counts for stunts. “[Cheer is] more of a mindset than a physical aspect because you can gain strength,” Taylor said. “For the mindset, you just need to realize that you're not going to hit it every time. You have to work for it."](https://laduetoday.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/AP8A0161-Medium.jpeg)
![Senior Gabe Bernstein works in the school greenhouse. This past summer, Bernstein explored various research opportunities to finally recognize what science fields he would like to pursue.
