On Saturday, June 8th, the OAMS Band and Chorus competed in the Music in the Parks Festival in Bethlehem, PA. Each group performed 2 selections and received high ratings and comments from the judges.
Band took 3rd place in their division
Chorus took 1st place and received an award for highest overall score
Our students were also collectively awarded the very prestigious Esprit de Corps Award, which is only given to one group at the festival, regardless of level/age. According to the Music in the Parks Festival, "The Esprit de Corps Award recognizes the participating organization that displays an exemplary attitude of positive support and outstanding personal behavior throughout the festival weekend. Personal integrity, quality character values, a desire for excellence, and a spirit of cooperation serve as the cornerstone qualities of the Esprit de Corps Award."
Both groups had outstanding performances and the students should be applauded for their hard work, and dedication, and for representing the Owego Apalachin Central School District so well!
