Constructive feedback was given to help improve performance skills. Within the festival an 8th grade concerto competition was held. 8th grade string players competed with each other for an opportunity to perform a solo at the Hadley Spring Orchestra Concert that will be held on Thursday, May 8, 2025. Congratulations to Helen Manak, 8th grade cellist, for winning first place at this concerto competition!

Hadley Orchestra Director Ms. Georgia Alemis, stated, "This type of learning experience helps students develop performance skills as a musician. It is a wonderful opportunity for students to display their talents in a recital format." Congratulations to all the performers!
