The Concert Choir earned a Silver Medal after performing three pieces ranked at level five difficulty and were critiqued by two collegiate-level choir directors.

“The students should be very proud of their performance and all that they have accomplished. We are grateful to share the beauty and joy of music making. I feel so lucky to make music with these dedicated and talented musicians every day,” said Teacher Ms. Tetlak.

The Concert Band and Wind Ensemble earned a Silver and Gold Medal, respectively, for their performances.

“Both groups worked extremely hard to prepare this difficult repertoire and the adjudicators had terrific comments about the music they’ve been making and suggestions for improvement in the future. We are so proud of these students!” said Teacher Mr. Christy.
