The HS Music Department select ensembles (Jazz Ensemble, Chamber Orchestra and Chamber Choir) once again attended the Music in the Parks competition in Dorney Park, PA. They returned with four trophies:
– Jazz Ensemble – 2nd Place with a rating of Superior
– Chamber Choir – 1st Place with a rating of Excellent
– Chamber Orchestra – 1st Place with a rating of Superior
Our Riverhead High School musicians also won the highly coveted Esprit de Corps award. The Esprit de Corps is presented to students from a school who demonstrated proper social behavior as well as musical behavior/encouragement. They possess the qualities of highly successful people who are sensitive to the feelings of others and applaud accomplishments no matter if by one’s own school or another school. Evaluation has taken place from arrival at the festival site to the awards presentation. All schools are eligible for this award, but only one group will have the honor of taking this trophy with them back to their school.
