hi marion. here's an item about the DC High School Concert Band. (Tenth kids involved were Nathaniel Schmucker, Josiah Cohen and Ethan Mitchell)

HS Concert Band Rocks Music in the Parks Festival

The High School Concert Band had a fabulous tour, performing two concerts on Friday, April 24 and competing at Music in the Parks on Saturday, April 25 in Hershey, PA. They received an Excellent rating, and a first place trophy in their division. Best of all, they were awarded the coveted all-around Esprit de Corps trophy: The Music In The Parks Esprit de Corps Award offers the opportunity to recognize participating organizations which display an exemplary attitude of positive support and outstanding personal behavior. Unlike other trophies that focus on musical achievement based on the scores of the adjudication panel, this coveted prize spotlights the performance of the students throughout the festival as they demonstrate their highest level of responsible behavior. Personal integrity, quality character values, a desire for excellence and a spirit of cooperation serve as the cornerstone qualities if the Esprit de Corps Award.

Congratulations!!
