On Friday, May 8th the HMS Handbell Ensemble traveled to Hershey, Pa to participate in the Music in the Parks festival. The group performed alongside eleven other school ensembles and earned a “Superior”, the festival’s highest rating. HMS was the only middle school group in the choral category to receive this distinction. Judges praised both the uniqueness of a handbell ensemble at the middle school level and the dedication of our members. After the performance, students enjoyed the rest of the afternoon at Hersheypark. Our students did a fantastic job representing themselves, our music program, and our school!
