Then on March 26th the f-lll-District High School Contest was held in Lllarrensburg. Ht this contest 8th graders got a chance to play in en- sembles and duets. The type of music also was im- 26 portant in orchestra. Most of the mu- sic played was classicalp although, a variety of music was played. Some of the composers consisted of the likes from Mozart to the Beatles. Three concerts were held: win- ter, Christmas and spring.
