These are some pictures taken from the State Music Competition. Maricopa High School has never taken their orchestra to state, so this was exciting for the students. They received a good, which means there's always room for improvement. :)
They also did a crazy pose...this is how orchestra students let loose. :P
These were taken outside the music hall where they competed in a music festival in CA. Because you can't participate in extra-curricular activities if you're grades aren't good enough, they could only bring 8 of their 15 members. Hard to play a full orchestra Bach arrangement with only 8 instruments. I remember being frustrated about this in marching band. The judges can't see what shapes we're forming on the field if there are holes everywhere! C'mon people! How hard is it to make sure you're passing a class?
Aubree has had a lot of fun in orchestra this year. Because the program is so small, she's had a number of opportunities that I never had at a larger highschool including solos and leadership. Next year, we'll have two at the highschool in orchestra. :)
