SCORCH wins High School String Orchestra Division
at 2010 Strawberry Festival

CONGRATULATIONS on winning the High School String Orchestra Division of the Strawberry Festival for the fifth year in a row!
You played the best version of the program to date at the performance yesterday! Please continue to practice your repertoire so that we can be even better next week in Pittsburgh.
Many strangers were impressed and gave standing ovations yesterday. I even had people approach me at the fair yesterday to compliment the orchestra. They said that they were in tears after we played, as they were so stunned by the level of performance. Thank you all for representing our schools and families so well!
