Several students from Victoria have been participating in an after school elementary orchestra based at Gage Middle School. Students were selected to participate in this group based on their performance and commitment to the strings class. The group is made up of 35 students from Alcott, Castle View, Washington, and Victoria. They have been rehearsing once a week since early January and are preparing for their final concert next week.The final concert will be on March 17th at Ramona High School for the SCSBOA Band and Orchestra Festival. Students will perform at 5:00 pm and will be critiqued by three judges. Immediately following students will sight-read a new piece of music in a separate room, also in front of a judge. This is a very exciting event for the students and the first time they get to feel what it’s like to be in a large middle school orchestra.
The concert is free and open to the public. Below is a list of students from Victoria who are participating in the Festival Orchestra:
- Aitzin C-R - Cello
- Allison W. - Violin
- Ari P. - Violin
- Erick M. - Cello/Bass
- Frank R. - Cello
- Hazel L. - Violin

Congrats to the kids who were selected!! I am always amazed by anyone's ability to make music.
