OP High School Music Program

Post by GreenDude »

Hi all,
This last week from April 23 - 26, my high school music and choir program went to the Seattle Heritage Festival to compete. It is one of 30 Heritage Festivals that happen around the globe (mainly US) every year. Here's how my high school (Concord High of Concord, CA) did at the Heritage Festival in Seattle. We are ranked against other bands and are given a award based on our score.

2nd Place Indiviual Judicator - Concord High Jazz Ensemble: Brendan K.
2nd Place Show Choir - Concord High Show Choir (Silver)
2nd Place Orchestra - Concord High Orchestra (Bronze)
2nd Place Band - Concord High Symphonic Band (Gold)
1st Place Band - Concord High Wind Ensemble (Gold)
1st Place Choir - Concord High Ladies First
1st Place Jazz Band - Concord High Jazz Ensemble
1st Place Indiviual Judicator - Concord High Jazz Ensemble: Zach L
Sweepstakes Best Choir - Concord High Ladies First
Sweepstakes Best Band - Concord High Wind Ensemble
Sweepstakes Instrumental - Concord High (Best Instrumental HS)
Sweepstakes Choir - Concord High (Best Choir HS)
Grand Sweepstakes - Concord High (Best Instrumental/HS)

As you can see we kicked butt. With all the trophies, Concord took all of them but two. Our grand total was 16 awards. I can't remeber three of them so I will edit this later and add them.

thats pretty cool. I used to do choir myself back in high school and I thought it was a lot of fun. Most of my friends were in it and we always had the best trips (Hawaii, Italy, New York, Ireland). And now that I think about it, I think we actually competed against a concord choir in the trip to New York. Wonder if it was yours?

Nice job! It looks like you came close to sweeping the whole event.

What songs did you guys play?
"The German Army will not stand for it!"
