We sit down with this year's captains as the season draws to a close and they push for the playoffs.

We visit with 4 students from the award winning Seven Lakes Orchestra. Their Ebullient Quartet played a portion of their state-bound performance on a recent appearance on the Seven Lakes Podcast.

In this podcast we feature our award winning animation students. Seven Lakes had 5 students who created animated films that made it to the state finals. The top 6 films in the state are all shown at the UIL Young Filmmakers State Film Festival in Austin, TX, then at the end of the evening, the winners are announced. Listed below are the state final results and links to the films.
