Congratulations to our Orchestras: Awesome UIL Performances!
Congratulations to the LHHS Philharmonic & Symphonic Orchestras!!! Both orchestras earned a Sweepstakes Award at the UIL Concert and Sight Reading Contest on February 28th!!!
Each group prepared 3 pieces to perform for 3 judges on stage along with performing a piece they have never seen before (called sight reading) for 3 different judges. All 6 judges give the orchestra a score from 1 – 4, 1 being the highest, based on their performance. A sweepstakes award is given when the judges give the orchestra an overall 1 on stage AND sight reading. This amazing feat has not been accomplished for about 20 years!
Also, the Forest Meadow Junior High Symphonic Orchestra rocked the UIL by earning a Sweepstakes Award for the first time since 1996!
Lake Highlands Junior High Orchestra received 1s on their rehearsed pieces and 2s on sight reading!
Way to go, everyone!!!
