Orchestra Success

The AIS Symphony Orchestra, under the direction of Dr. Ronald L. Howard, participated in the Smoky Mountain Music Festival last weekend in Gatlinburg, Tennessee.

The orchestra was judged by a panel of adjudicators comprised of Ray Cramer, Director of Bands Emeritus, Indiana University; Col. (ret.) Arnold D. Gabriel, USAF Band; and Dr. Gary Sousa, Director of Bands, University of Tennessee.

Our orchestra was rated superior and received the "best in class" award. Additionally, the string section and oboist Janie Goss (grade 9) received citations of excellence.
