For Years, the Texas Panhandle has enjoyed an incredible amount of talent. Some of that talent makes headlines and spotlights across the globe. Some of it stays home. The global headliners make the citizenry proud and, on rare occasions, are seen on a far-away stage. Those who stay, entertain endlessly through personal, astounding contributions to the Amarillo Symphony, Amarillo Little Theatre, Amarillo Opera, Lone Star Ballet, area art galleries, college and university faculties and also through the lower education systems.
