Redmond Junior High School orchestra missed out by three points to Rose Hill Junior High in getting the “Best Overall” award in the Western Washington University (WWU) orchestra competition, a statewide competition for middle school and junior high school students. Fourteen groups attended this event, including schools from Seattle, Ferndale and Bellevue. Redmond Junior High’s orchestra received a 2nd place silver trophy out of 14 participants.
In addition to the competition, the students participated in break-out clinics and master classes, and were judged by national-level adjudicator, Kathleen Brungard from North Carolina. Receiving the highest marks for technique, style and presentation, members were congratulated on their enthusiasm and their performance of two very different and challenging pieces. At the end of the day, the participants were treated to a performance by the WWU Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Arthur Shaw.
The Lake Washington High School Orchestra had an outstanding performance at the Northwest Orchestra Championships, held in Gresham, Ore., March 14-15. They brought home the third place award in the large school string division.
Redmond High School Knowledge Bowl Team from Redmond High School (RHS), comprised of Tejas Renade, Emily Rice, Rishi Goutam, Jonathan Shi, and Evan Nelson, took fifth place in the Puget Sound Regional Knowledge Bowl competition, thus earning them a place at the state championships on March 28 in Camas, Wash
