The Walton CSD high school band, orchestra, and chorus participated in the High Note Music Festival in Allentown, Pennsylvania.
Each year, the music department prepared all year to play music for high quality judges at this spring adjudication festival. This year’s adjudicators were veteran music teachers who recorded both written and spoken comments as the musicians performed. These critiques are used to help educate the students and give them instruction about how to be better musicians/performers.
The chorus and orchestra, each directed by Rebekah Doig, both received a rating of excellent. The band, directed by Raymond Bartlett, received a rating of superior.
Congratulations to all involved on these great performances!

Museum march!
Each year, the fifth graders take a field trip to New York City to visit the Museum of Natural History. To help fund the trip, the students do a “museum march” where they walk or run around the block several times. Before that, however, they gather sponsors among family and friends. Great job!
