2016 OSAA State Solo Music Champions

Last Saturday, April 30, 2016, three RHS instrumental students competed in the annual OSAA Solo Music Championships on the campus of Pacific University in Forest Grove. We are so proud of these students' accomplishments!

Shanea Jorden, then junior, performed in the competitive flute room placing 10th overall.  Shanea is also involved in our choral and theatre departments.  She performed the very challenging Robert Muczynski flute sonata, accompanied by Mr. Daniel Lee on piano.

Katie Whittle, then senior, is the new Oboe State Champion!!!  She played the Ralph Vaughan Williams oboe concerto with great musicianship and expertise.  Her accompanist was Mr. Daniel Lee.  Katie has plans to attend Oregon State University on a music scholarship next fall. 

Emanuel Aguilar, then sophomore, tied for third on Tuba.  His impressive performance featured Lebedev’s Tuba Concerto in One Movement, accompanied by Ms. Cindy Pick on piano. Emanuel is also on the wrestling team.
