Members of the Mid-Columbia Ballet and Mariachi Halcón del Rio, an ensemble from Chiawana High School, rehearse a new collaborative ballet Monday at the Tri-Cities Academy of Ballet in Richland.

The two groups, featuring 31 local high school students, will premiere the new presentation at the Mid-Columbia Ballet's spring production on March 16 -17 at Richland High Auditorium.

Additionally, the ballet group will sponsor the 31 students to travel to Spokane in April if the performance is chosen for the Regional Dance America/Pacific festival.
