Oakridge Upper School Choir and Orchestra students submit auditions each year for placement in TPSMEA All-Region and All-State ensembles along with hundreds of private school students from around the state. Those selected join the best of the best to spend a weekend learning from a master conductor and presenting magnificent concerts for family and friends. Oakridge was tremendously well represented not only in numbers but by the incredible attitude, effort, and enthusiasm of our students.
