TILLAMOOK CONCERT CHOIR RECEIVES GOLD AWARD CERTIFICATE

From the MENC website: "Beginning in the spring of the 2007-8 school year at the close of the festival season, outstanding choirs were recognized with a GOLD AWARD certificate which ACDA sent to the choral directors whose choirs earned at least two scores of 81 points or more at an ACDA-sanctioned choral festival or contest."

Tillamook received our Gold Award Certificate last Spring. (If you click on "Gold Award certificate" you can see it.) I thought you might like to see the list of all the 4A schools that received this honor:
