From Beethoven and Brahms to Schubert and Wagner, Frisco ISD middle and high school orchestra students spent several months preparing for the annual UIL Concert and Sight-Reading Evaluation.
With more than 3,300 fine arts students involved in Frisco ISD orchestra programming, students continue to find success in the District’s proven student-opportunity model, which allows students to engage in music in ways that promote both artistic and social-emotional growth.
The hard work of the students and their directors paid off when several secondary orchestra programs recently brought home a number of Superior and Sweepstakes awards from the UIL Concert and Sight-Reading Evaluation.
As part of the evaluation, each orchestra prepared and performed three pieces for the concert portion of the evaluation. They then completed a sight-reading process which included learning a new piece of music in a handful of minutes.
Each portion of the evaluation was rated by judges on a scale of 1 to 5 with a 1 being Superior. Ensembles that received a Superior in both concert and sight-reading were awarded the coveted Sweepstakes recognition.
Congratulations to these orchestras that received Sweepstakes and Superior awards and are recognized for having demonstrated the necessary skills and musicianship that only comes with hard work and dedication by both the students and directors.
