Greyhound orchestra brings home more honors
The Grove City High School orchestra earned a superior rating at the Ohio Music Education Association (OMEA) State Adjudicated Event, held Feb. 26 at Thomas Worthington High School.
The orchestra performed in class "A" (the highest classification with the most difficult music) and was awarded the top mark for their technical preparation and artistic interpretation of the music.
The orchestra performed as a full orchestra, meaning the ensemble included strings, brass, woodwinds, and percussion. This was the second consecutive superior rating in the highest class for the orchestra; last year, Grove City was one of only five full orchestras in the state of Ohio to earn the top rating in class "A".
The group's contest repertoire included Franz Schubert's Military March No. 1, James Barnes' Yorkshire Ballad, and Gioachino Rossini's Overture to The Barber of Seville.
The orchestra's next public performance will be at the annual spring concert at Grove City High School on May 20. For more information, contact orchestra director, Tom Traini at 801-3343 or thomas.traini@swcs.us.
