Overall, the BSN finished in second place, with students earning awards in the following categories:

• Upper School Vocal Soloist – 1st place
• Lower School Piano Soloist – 1st place
• Overall Student Prize – 1^st place

A BSN Senior Student’s original composition Painting was also chosen as the winner of the Composition Competition and named the “Anthem for COBIS”.  The festival came to a close with a performance of this piece, with the student conducting the orchestra and choir.

Thank you to all the students and the music staff for their dedication and hard work!
