Last month, the Welsh Valley Middle School Music Department proudly represented their school at the High Note Music Festival in Allentown, where every ensemble earned a SUPERIOR rating—an incredible accomplishment!

Adjudicators evaluated each group using a comprehensive performance rubric that assessed tone, intonation, technique, interpretation and repertoire difficulty. Students and directors also received real-time recorded feedback, offering a valuable opportunity for post-performance reflection and growth.

Participating ensembles included the Select Choir, Chamber Orchestra, and the 7th and 8th Grade Concert Bands. Congratulations to the students and their dedicated music teachers: Mary Callaghan, Taylor Lam, Marybeth McCarrick, Al Homicz and Carmen Vieytez!

After their stellar performances, students capped off the day with a well-earned celebration at Dorney Park!
