Our newly formed NHS Honors Chamber Orchestra (which rehearses at 7 am before school) received a nearly flawless score in their first appearance at festival, earning them a Division I (Superior) for their work on the first two movements of Bach’s Brandenburg Concerto No. 3. Students involved in chamber orchestra: Tina Ho, Brionna Lam, Marisela Aguilar, Angelica Reyes, Abby Espinosa-Gonzalez Bellolio, Stephanie Ramos, Shelby Sonderleiter, and PJ Clearman

I am incredibly proud of these students. They took on challenging music and performed it well.
