On Saturday, January 17, eleven of our GHHS instrumental music students performed solos or in ensemble groups during the OMEA adjudicated events solo and ensemble day at Pleasant View Middle School. And we are thrilled to report that every single one of them received a "superior" rating for their performance - the highest rating available!  GHBOB congratulates the following students for putting in the time and effort necessary to achieve this amazing result:

Axel Farnham (freshman) - viola solo
Sydney Heren (freshman) - tenor sax solo
Max McCollough (junior) - horn solo
LouLou Rafailidis (sophomore) - violin solo
Charlotte Ritzman (junior) - flute solo
Rose Ritzman (freshman) - alto sax solo
Maura Yates (junior) - cello solo
Sydney Heren, Luke Lobao (senior), Rose Ritzman, Isla Swisher (sophomore) - sax quartet
Maddi Barger (freshman), Charlotte Ritzman, Callie Rutter (sophomore) - flute trio


GHBOB also gives a big shout out to our directors, Jennifer Olis and Thomas Stanley, for helping our students be so well prepared!
