Saturday, March 2nd, at Pioneer High School, the Skyline Philharmonic and Symphony Orchestras participated in MSBOA Band and Orchestra Festival.

Students and director are allowed to study the sight reading piece for 5 minutes before performing for the judge. All students performed at a high level and received great feedback from the judges. Groups are rated on a scale of 1 to 5 with a 1 rating being superior. Philharmonic Orchestra received a division 2 rating and Symphony Orchestra received a division 1 rating. Symphony Orchestra has qualified for MSBOA State Band and Orchestra Festival in early May. It was an honor to be on stage with these fine musicians this weekend. Go Eagles!
