BHS orchestra rated "Superior" at state contest
Bluffton High School's String Orchestra participated in the OMEA Large Group High School State Orchestra Adjudicated Event held on Feb. 24-25 in Sandusky High School.
The string orchestra, under the direction of Rachael E. Lewis, performed in Class "B" and received a 'Superior' rating.
Music performed included "Contrast in e minor" by Feese, "Lullaby" by William Hofeldt and "M to the 3rd Power" by Carold Nunez.
"We practice 90 minutes twice a week. We contend with other extra curricular activities such as academic team, driver's ed, sports and music lessons but this group of students are very committed and dedicated student-musicians," said Lewis.
Cellist Deb Herr assists the orchestra in working with the celli and basses during sectionals.
