Orchestra
Our talented and generous parent volunteer Erik Olson has once again made multi-camera videos of concerts (thank you, Erik!). Here are recordings of the spring concert, in March:
Beginning Orchestra
Intermediate Orchestra
Senior Orchestra
Western Washington results = Gold!
Over Spring Break we received adjudication sheets from the WWU festival in March. Senior Orchestra scored an average of 91 out of 100, which is a Gold rating! "I am very pleased with the comments that we received," says Ms. Dustin.
Congratulations, Senior Orchestra!
