Intermediate & Advanced Bands Receive Excellent Mark and Win Esprit de Corps Award at Music in the Park Festival!
The Music in the Parks Festival was held on May 5th at Gahr High School in Anaheim.  The Band Groups were thrilled at the awards ceremony to each receive an Excellent rating and to earn the Esprit de Corps award for the school!  This is the first time that Aviara Oaks has ever won this award and it is a prestigious honor for our groups.  The Espirit de Corps award "offers the opportunity to recognize participating organizations which display an exemplary attitude of positive support and outstanding personal behavior.  Unlike other trophies that focus on musical achievement based on the scores of the adjudication panel, this coveted prize spotlights the performance of the students throughout the festival weekend as they demonstrate their highest level of responsible behavior."  Congratulations!
