The orchestras at Springville Junior High School busily prepared all last week for the Utah Valley University (UVU) festival on Wednesday May 6th. They traveled to UVU and stayed there all day to perform in the district-wide festival. The festival was held in the Regan Theatre in the Sorensen Center on UVU campus.
There are three orchestras at SJHS. They are the beginning orchestra, (The Young Artists) intermediate orchestra, (Sinfonia), and the advanced orchestra, (the Chamber Orchestra). All three orhestras attended the festival.
According to Mr. Sam Tsugawa, the orchestra teacher at SJHS, the students did very well in the festival. “They were all very well prepared, especially the Young Artists. They have improved in both staying in tune and staying together.”
The orchestra students arrived at UVU, performed, and listened to other orchestras in the district. “It’s was so much fun hearing how we sounded compared to other schools. Lots of the time, we sounded much better!” said Carli Sorenson, a student in the Chamber orchestra.
