LUBBOCK, Texas (KCBD) - Frenship High School senior Lula Biondi, a tenor trombonist, is the only high school student in the country selected for this year's S.E. Shires Rising Artist Program.

If you meet Lula, you're bound to talk about music and her special trombone.

She found her love for show tunes and orchestral music early in life through her dad."I remember living in Florida, he'd always play West Side Story on the way back from school or he'd always have some orchestral piece playing in the background," Biondi said.
