On Veterans Day, we join in reflecting on the sacrifices, dedication and heroism of our Veterans. We are so grateful for those in the EPS community who have served our country. Earlier this month, hundreds of EPS student musicians performed a patriotic-themed concert at the 33rd annual All-City Orchestra. We were also thrilled to have the 145th National Guard Army Brass Quintet perform in the lobby as guests entered. The quintet later joined the orchestra for the playing of military branch service songs and an exciting finale of Oklahoma! #EPSleads #VeteransDay
