The Louisiana Music Educator's Regional Orchestra Festival was held at Baton Rouge High on March 13th. This festival is attended by schools throughout southern Louisiana including the New Orleans area who have string programs. Almost all of the schools competing were either Middle School or High School groups. Our BRCVPA Orchestra received a ( I ) -Superior for their performance there. BRCVPA has been participating in the LMEA Festival since 1999. Many of the former students from BRCVPA are current members of The BRMH Advanced Orchestra and will be performing at an orchestra competition held at Carnegie Hall on April 15th. There are only 10 schools nationwide who apparently qualified for the privilege of performing there.
