MATTAPOISETT — Students in the Old Rochester Regional High School chorus and concert band earned high ratings at the Great East Music Festival on Friday, May 2.

The chorus ensemble received a gold rating and the concert band received a platinum rating, which is the highest rating awarded to any ensemble.

The Great East Music Festival serves as a showcase for the hard work students put in each year and also provides students with professional feedback, with students attending clinics and receiving advice from a panel of musical adjudicators.

“I’m extremely impressed by our music students,” said Principal Michael Devoll. “Their hard work, passion and commitment to their craft are inspiring.”

“I am so proud of all the hard work that every student has put into their musical craft this year,” said Pedro Silva, music director at Old Rochester Regional High School.
