CONGRATS!

It was a great week for Orchestra. Three of our ensembles participated in the UIL Region 20 Concert and Sightreading Evaluation and we took high honors. Both Concert and Symphony were awarded Superior Ratings (a “Sweepstakes”); Philharmonic earned an Excellent Rating on Stage and a Superior Rating in Sightreading. These ratings are very difficult to earn and require a high amount of teamwork and group success.

Here is a photo of our Symphony Orchestra from yesterday’s full orchestra performance—a combo group made up of the best Orchestra and Band students at Pearce High School. We were one of only two schools that participated in this type of collaboration this year.

Way to go orchestra family!
