March 20, 2018. Congratulations to our SOCSA Orchestra students after their competition at the SCSBOS Music Festival.
The orchestras handled themselves with professionalism and grace and their adjudicators and audience were impressed with the fact they were able to perform at such a high level, with challenging repertoire, considering they did not get their music until a few weeks after we all got started together.

1st Period Orchestra earned a Unanimous Superior Rating
3rd Period Orchestra earned a Superior Rating
5th Period Orchestra earned an Excellent Rating
