A Black teenager who was shot in the head by a white homeowner in Missouri after he mistakenly rang the wrong doorbell has secured a spot in the all-state band months after the shooting.

Last week, North Kansas City Schools publicized on Facebook that Ralph Yarl was one of four students in the area to earn the prestigious recognition. Yarl plays bass clarinet and was named second chair in the all-state band, according to the post.

“Bravo to Eliza Cockrell and Stephen Kwon from Northtown, and Ralph Yarl and Carter Walters from Staley! They’ve earned a spot in the 2024 Missouri All State Orchestra or Band and will perform at the Missouri Music Educators Association annual conference in January at Margaritaville Lake Resort in Lake of the Ozarks,” the statement read.

    concentrated and/or contained.

    a silo on a farm is where you keep your grain or your animal feed. “silage” is the term for the feed kept in there, and its’ not likely human-edible. it also has a tendency to break down/decompose.

    we also keep missiles in silos. but i think it’s used more in the context of sequestering and storing.

    does that help?
