Geneva musicians win TAPPS orchestra title

The Geneva School of Boerne orchestra and classical guitar competed as a team in the TAPPS Division One Fine Arts Orchestra State competition April 20 in Austin and came home with the state title.

The competition was the second of a two-part contest that began with a Solo and Ensemble Meet in February at St. Mary’s University, where both groups earned scores of 1-Superior in their various solos and ensembles.

Points are awarded for level of difficulty and excellence. Many students were recognized for even higher honors by earning All-State status, the highest attainable score on the most difficult of the repertoire.
