Oakmont’s Music Department had their annual Great East Festival trip last Friday! Although they usually travel for their performance, this year they had two judges come to Oakmont: Dominic Ferrara and Olin Johannessan. The judges recorded their comments while the ensembles performed for them to listen to later and then gave each ensemble a quick clinic to better their musicianship and give a different perspective to some things.

The Concert Choir performed three pieces; Some Nights, And So It Goes, and Waves. They received a gold medal for their performance!

Select Choir performed three pieces as well; If I Fell, Everything, and Requiem. They also received a gold medal!

The Concert Band performed their three pieces next; Salute to the Colors, The Lord of the Rings, and Star Wars. They were awarded a gold medal for their performance!

Jazz Band performed last with their three charts; Things Ain’t What They Used To Be, My Foolish Heart, and Recorda Me. They received the highest award, a platinum medal! 

After all of the ensembles performed, they headed off to Six Flags and enjoyed a great day at the park!

The Music Department have just a few more performances coming up, with their Spring Concert and Tour Day coming soon.
