The Reynoldsburg High School string orchestra students have been busy during the past weeks.  On February 12, 2000 the orchestra traveled to Pickerington High School to participate in the annual Ohio Music Education Association's Solo and Ensemble adjudicated Event.  During the weeks of preparation the students learned how to work as a team, they learned group and individual responsibility, cooperation, musical style, interpretation, and various musical skills.  On the day of the adjudicated event the students performed for an adjudicator (judge), and he rated the event.  Ratings ranged from Superior (I) to Poor (5).  The results of this year's Solo and Ensemble event were:
