Twelve orchestra students from Charles F. Brush High School participated in the Ohio Music Education Association District 7 Competition this past weekend and positively represented our District. An “Arc Pride” special shout-out goes out to these students who spend countless hours before and after school preparing and practicing their music to perform for certified adjudicators, who serve as judges and essentially critique the students' performance and supply them with constructive comments to help improve their playing. The community should be very proud of their hard work and dedication to music. Several students received superior ratings on their solos and ensembles, including, Akaiya Abdullah, Karmyn Dancy and Devon Anderson. Students who received excellent ratings on their solos or ensembles included Ogo Egbo, Kylie Gaarder, Faith Fox, Ella Daugherty, Mason Daniels and Gianna Dicenzi. Students who received good ratings on their solos or ensembles included Alana Boiner, Sujood Yakout and Skylar Savage. The Brush High School Orchestra is lead by Director, Kristina Baric. Congratulations to everyone involved in making this performing arts program a success in the SEL Schools.
