Festival thank yous and results

Thank you to one and all for a successful district festival! We apparently did a great job hosting the festival, once again. I hope that those of you who worked and/or attended can appreciate how neat it is to host this festival at our school - I heard some amazing music!!! And, there's the added bonus that it's really clean right now in the A wing... :)

Chamber orchestra felt as though we performed really well, but the judges scores weren't very high, unfortunately. There were some constructive comments, and actually lots of positive comments, from the judges. We'll have some great ideas to work off of while we prepare for State (May 14) these next few weeks.

Symphony did great - I think that was our best performance yet. Our scores were pretty good - I think they accurately reflected our performance level. I think we're well positioned to defend that 3rd place State title we scooped up last year. But, we can't let ourselves coast - we know that there's a lot of work left to be done.

Chamber parents hosted a wonderful breakfast on Saturday morning - that was so neat! I deeply appreciate your dedication, generosity, and support of your kids and the music program.

There is a concert on May 3 - the Pre State concert - where we'll play selections from our State material for parents and friends. I'm looking forward to seeing how much we grow in the next few weeks!
