The Prep Orchestra performed recently in Hopkins, Minnesota, as part of the Minnesota string teachers association Mid-Level Orchestra Tier 1 Festival.

Both judges gave the group a “Superior with Distinction” score, which is the highest possible score. One judge gave a 33 out of 35, and the other gave a 35 out of 35.

The group has been invited to participate in the MNSOTA Tier 2 Concert and spend time with some members of the Minnesota Orchestra, which takes place on March 14 at Orchestra Hall in downtown Minneapolis.
