Ms. Hamilton and 8th graders, Isel and Jasmine, performed for Kingston Residence of Santa Fe on Monday, December 10th. Those who were in attendance enjoyed the holiday tunes!
This last Saturday, there were six Ortiz Orchestra students who performed at the the North Central District Solo and Ensemble. They were all on time, dressed appropriately, and acted very professionally and I'm happy to say that they represented Ortiz very well!
Please help me congratulate the students listed below--you'll see their score beside their name. (1, superior is the highest and 4 is the lowest)
Isaac Mattia (6th Grade)--1 Superior
Valeria Torres (6th Grade)--2 Excellent
Justin Anderson (7th Grade)--1 Superior
Marissa Quezada and Natalia Lozoya (7th Grade, duet)--3 Good
Additionally, at the end of the entire event, each judge selects one student from all the students they had judged throughout the day. The student they select is 'best in room'--this student was the most prepared and played their piece the best out of all the other students they had seen that day.
One of our judges selected Claudia Lopez (6th Grader) as best in room and gave her a score of a 1 superior.
