Congrats! Congratulations to all of the orchestra
students who participated in State
Orchestra Contest! The students
represented our school, community and
music program in a professional
manner. They also did an outstanding
job performing and received straight
superior ratings. We are extremely
proud of our orchestra students!
Congratulations to the students in our
band’s Wind Ensemble students for
their performances at the OMEA (Ohio
Music Education Association) Band
Contest, hosted by our band on March
9. The ensemble played two Class AA
pieces, one prepared and one sight-
reading piece. The judges gave the
Wind Ensemble a score of two for the
prepared piece and a one for the piece
they sight-read. Most high school bands
do not attempt Class AA pieces, but
ours did and they played very well.
Thank you to the chaperones who went
along to Columbus for the state
orchestra contest. Appreciation also to
the students and parents who
volunteered for the OMEA Contest at
BHS. The directors and students know
that much of the success of our
orchestra and band programs is due to
the fact that we are blessed with
families who believe in the instrumental
music programs of the Boardman
Schools and they volunteer when
needed. Thank you!
