Superintendent Lucas Giguere and Director of Visual & Performing Arts Diane Plouffe are pleased to announce that several Franklin High School music ensembles achieved high honors during their performances at the annual Massachusetts Instrumental and Choral Conductors Association (MICCA) Festival.
The Wind Ensemble and Concert Band, directed by Leighanne Rudsit, and the String Orchestra, Repertory Orchestra, Concert Choir and Treble Choir, directed by Plouffe, each performed during the Concert Festival and Choral Festival April 4-6.
Ensembles were evaluated and awarded Bronze, Silver or Gold medals based on the quality of their performances. Franklin High School’s Concert Band and choruses earned Silver Medals, while both orchestras and the Wind Ensemble received Gold Medals, the highest distinction given at the festival.
„I’m extremely proud of our student musicians,“ Plouffe said. „They performed at an extremely high level amongst incredible competition throughout the state of Massachusetts.“
Due to their outstanding performances, the Franklin High School Wind Ensemble, String Orchestra, and Repertory Orchestra were invited to perform this past weekend at the Gold Medal Showcase at the Groton Hill Music Center on Sunday, April 13.
“This is a remarkable accomplishment for our student musicians and the dedicated educators who support them,“ said Superintendent Giguere. “Their hard work, passion and commitment to their craft are truly inspiring.“
