The competition is sponsored by the American Strings Teachers Association. (Note the Second Grand Prize Winner was for Private School Youth Orchestra Division: a group known as Vivace from Poughkeepsie, New York). The two groups performed at the winners concert last Saturday, March 5, 2016. I have an official press release but not sure how to upload to your website. This is a significant win for Charleston County School District as well as the State itself. Thanks for your time. Melanie Vanderwege
