Amelia Bateman, an 8th grader at Mapleton Junior High School, recently got 2nd place in the American Protégé International Competition of Romantic Music. To audition she had to send in a video of her playing the violin. She did a great job. She said, “I learned how to make a video and how hard it really is to make one with no mistakes.” Bateman is glad her hard work payed off.
