SJHS Music Department took 4 ensembles to the MSBOA District 6 Band and Orchestra Festival. All
four groups earned Division 1 ratings and qualified for the State Band and Orchestra festival. Not only
did they earn the highest ratings, but each group earned top ratings from every judge - a huge
accomplishment. SJHS also had the only Full Symphony Orchestra perform at the festival. Please join
us in congratulating these talented young musicians.
