Chamber Choir + Combined Choir earned gold ratings and 1st place for both ensembles, and Band + Jazz Band earned silver ratings and 1st place for both ensembles. Band also won the Instrumental Sweepstakes Award, which is given to the top-scoring instrumental program!

They also swept the competition and took home the BIG award: the Festival Sweepstakes! This award honors the top overall music program (the highest recognition presented at the festival) and is given to the school with the highest combined scores across multiple ensembles. Directors Amy Way and Larry Colón took to the stage to receive the trophy while Mickey and Minnie danced, and confetti showered the stage!

We are so proud of the dedication, talent, and heart these students brought to the stage this weekend! Congratulations!

Skirt Length Check-In

With the warmer weather, we’re seeing more skirts on campus. Please take a moment this weekend to ensure your daughter’s skirt aligns with our dress code. Skirts should fall below the fingertips (approximately 4 inches above the knee) and must be from Lands' End. Lululemon and other athleisure skirts are not permitted. As always, the primary responsibility for a student’s attire rests with the student and their parents/guardians. Multiple skirt length violations will result in the loss of skirt privileges. If your daughter needs a refresh, new skirts and skorts are available in our Lands' End store. We appreciate your support!
