Myrtle Beach Music Trip A Big Success
More than 100 students from Coginchaug High School recently visited South Carolina for the musically inspired field trip.
The Coginchaug Regional High School Music Department just returned from the Fiestaval Music Competition in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.
The students were proud to earn the following ratings from the university adjudicators:
- Show Choir, Jazz Band and Concert Choir – Superior
- Concert Band – Excellent
The music students also had the opportunity to attend shows at the Alabama Theatre and the Palace Theatre while in Myrtle Beach. Everyone had a chance to race each other in go-carts at the Nascar Speedpark, take a ride on the SkyWheel and yes, spend time on the beach.
Music directors Lisa Larsen and Dean Coutsouridis would like to thank the students for their exceptional musicianship, ability to cope and adjust and good behavior throughout the trip.
Thanks also go to the great team of chaperones: Kari Kuehnle, Cris Donovan, Hans Pedersen, Bob Nemphos, Tim Bjarnason, Tina Gossner and Amy Schaefer.
