Monday, 14 September 2009 21:26
All the hard work last year to master the uneven meter of the Suplevski Capriccio and perfect the two moving pieces of the Respighi Suite has resulted in yet another award, this time at the national level. The Sprague High School Camerata Orchestra has been judged a National Winner of the Mark of Excellence by Jung-Ho Pak, a nationally recognized conductor, educator, and string orchestra adjudicator. The Mark of Excellence is awarded annually by the Foundation for Music Education's Choice Music Events division.
This year over 150 entries of recorded performances were submitted from 28 states in five categories: Youth Orchestra, High School Full Orchestra, High School String Orchestra, Middle School Full Orchestra, and Middle School String Orchestra. Of those 6 achieved National Winner status, another 7 qualifed with Commended Winner status, and 2 received State Winner awards. Of the six National Winners, Sprague was the only non-Texas entry to be so recognized. The state of Texas is considered to have the best music education in the country.
