🎶 Outstanding Performances by Our BHS Music Ensembles! 🎶
We are so proud of our talented Burroughs High School musicians and their recent achievements at CMEA (California Music Educators Association) Ratings Festivals!
On March 19, our BHS Madrigals traveled to Bakersfield High School to perform for an audience and a panel of four regional choral experts. Their dedication and artistry earned them a Unanimous Superior* rating for both performance and sight reading!
The following week, the Burroughs Symphonic Orchestra traveled to Tulare Union High School for the CMEA High School Orchestra Ratings Festival. They also received a Unanimous Superior* rating — with one judge awarding the ensemble a perfect score of 100! 🎉
Both ensembles are excited to share their award‑winning music with the Ridgecrest community at their Spring Concerts:
📅 May 13 & May 14
📍 BHS PPAC
⏰ 6:30 p.m.
We hope to see you there to celebrate these incredible students!
* Unanimous Superior is the highest rating awarded.
📸 Photos include warm‑ups, stage performances, sight reading, and moments outside the festival venues.
