And now to Clark High School, where a freshman flutist was recently chosen for the High School Honors Performance Series at Carnegie Hall.

That's right, she traveled to New York City to perform on one of the world's most famous stages with some of the world's best young musicians.

It is a Thursday morning at Clark High School.

-One, two, and out.

-The class, Intermediate Band.

(Francesca Srinarayana) This is what I wanted to play.

Um, so when I picked it up first, I was like, wow.

-And Freshman Francesca Srinarayana is back in Las Vegas after a life-changing trip to New York City.

-I wanted to go because, like I said, I really love my instrument, and I really like to get to know people that also, like, are interested in the same things that I am.

(Cynthia Ferris) It's a lifetime experience.

It's something nobody can take away.

-Private flute instructor, Cynthia Ferris.

-It's called Honors Performance Series.

It started in 2010 as an opportunity for high school students to perform at Carnegie Hall.

-Francesca auditioned for the opportunity via video.

And then came the email.

-It said, Congratulations, you were accepted.

And I was in the symphonic orchestra, and that's the highest one that there is, so I was really happy.

-Not long after, Francesca and her mom were on a plane to New York City.

(Gina Srinarayana) I just feel like music is an international language that everybody understands and can appreciate, and so I want her to be able to experience it and share it.

-First came rehearsals... -There was a couple kids from outside of the U.S.

They were all, like, high school students like me.

They were amazing.

Like, they were really good players.

They were the best.

-...before the big performance at Carnegie Hall.

-It was like my jaw was on the floor.

It was so big.

-It was wonderful to have my daughter on the Carnegie Music Hall stage playing an instrument that she loves.

-The Honors Performance Series was an incredible learning experience... (Julio Vargas-Guerra) Any kind of honor group, especially something like that where it's at the national level, it helps kids get inspired, but also it introduces them to much more challenging music, which is always good for their growth.

-I think it's helped me, not just in music, but in other places, like my work ethic and everything.

-...and celebration of talent... -Francesca is a natural with the flute.

We learned several years ago that the wand picks the wizard, and the flute picked Francesca.

It was just a natural fit for her.

-...that has inspired Francesca in so many ways.

-I'm going back into the spring for spring break, and I want to go back to Carnegie Hall so I can watch, like, a "professional" professional orchestra play.

-Congratulations, Francesca.

So proud of you.

And we should mention that more than 10,000 students were nominated for the Honors Performance Series between all of the ensembles.

What an incredible honor to be selected.
