MATTAPOISETT — Superintendent Michael S. Nelson and Principal Michael Devoll are pleased to share that the Old Rochester Regional High School Chorus and Concert Band both performed at the Great East Music Festival held at Gateway Regional High School on Friday, May 2.
The Old Rochester Regional High School Chorus ensemble received a gold rating during their musical evaluation. The Old Rochester Regional High School Concert Band received a platinum rating, the highest rating awarded to any ensemble.
The event serves as a showcase of all the hard work that the Old Rochester Regional High School Music Department does each year, while also providing students with professional feedback. As part of the event, students participate in a clinic on how to improve, with advice offered from a panel of musical adjudicators.
The performance and adjudication are then followed up by a trip to Six Flags New England.
“I am so proud of all of the hard work that every student has put into their musical craft this year,” said Pedro Silva, music director at Old Rochester Regional High School. “As a first-year teacher, I am beyond honored to teach all of these wonderful students and to be a part of the ORR community. The environment we are creating in the classroom helps in shaping the very music we perform and I’m ecstatic that we have been recognized for such efforts. I can’t wait to see what the future holds, but I have this feeling it will be excellent.”
Superintendent Nelson and Principal Devoll congratulated the Chorus and Concert Band for capping off a year of success by earning such high ratings during the Great East Music Festival.
“I’m extremely impressed by our music students,” said Principal Devoll. “Their hard work, passion and commitment to their craft are inspiring. I’d like to congratulate the Chorus and Concert Band for earning high ratings during the Great East Music Festival. This was a great way to mark the end of the year for our musicians.”
“We are very proud of all of our musicians,” said Superintendent Nelson. “The Great East Music Festival was a fitting way to end a year of so much hard work by all of them. Congratulations to our Chorus and Concert Band for earning such high ratings. This is a feather in the cap for all of them. Once again, bravo to all of our instrumentalists and vocalists.”
