Well, our state competition for Science Olympiad finished, and our school placed 8th out of 23 schools. That's a huge improvement from last year, and one of the highest places in the state competition ever. We aren't going to nationals, but it was a great experience, and we know what we are going to do for next year, and we are really excited. Our school placed very well. My partner and I got a 2nd place in Helicopters, and two other members got a 1st in Rocks and Minerals, two other members got a 4th in Keep the Heat, and three other members got a 3rd in Mission Possible. That's extremely well, and I can't wait for next year.
After Science Olympiad, our orchestra had to go to festival, which is an opportunity to perform in front of judges, and receive an overall score about our orchestra program. Our orchestra played Dragon Dances, Westminster Prelude and Fugue, and Arlington Sketches. We sounded pretty nice, and we scored an overall of Excellent. I think that we could have done a little better, but it's pretty good. We had to repeat a verse in Arlington, where we sped up a lot, but it went well, because we all listened to each other, and played together. This was a nice opportunity for our orchestra, and I'm looking forward to next year.
