Instrumental music at Rancho Pico got off to a great start its first year!
A bold venture to an adjudicated band and orchestra festival in March met
with success. The advanced band was described as "very professional"
and "going in the right direction" by judges who awarded the band
an Excellent rating. The orchestara even earned a Superior rating from one
judge, although the overall average was Excellent. The Spring Concert in
May culminated the outstanding first year these students had.
