National Guild Auditions 2026 are successfully concluded!
Taking place at St. Martins University on May 31, it was an all-day affair with students performing District (5-7 pc), National (10 pc), and International (15 pc) programs.
Our judge, Judy Ebel from Vancouver, gave our students high marks - all Superior or Superior Plus! I’m proud of everyone for taking on such a big challenge and working hard to achieve something so challenging.
Phoebe, a senior at OHS, performed an International Level, 15-piece program, receiving top scores and commendations from the judge regarding her artistic performance and attention to details! The program she played included: Bach Prelude & Fugue in C Minor (WTC 1), Mozart Sonata in F, Chopin’s Scherzo #3 and Fantasie-Impromptu, Debussy’s Clair de Lune, Moskowski’s Concerto in E Major - 4th movement, and Gershwin’s Novelette in Fourths. Such an amazing and high level recital!
All students were scored as “Superior” or “Superior Plus” levels, which are the highest two levels. Congratulations!
I hope many of you have the chance to share your music this summer - perform for family and friends! Play at a senior home, at school, churches, and community events! Make a recording of your pieces while they are fresh, and save the memory of this accomplishment!
