(ROCKWALL, TX – May 13, 2015) The Williams Middle School Symphony Orchestra, under direction of Shari Allison and Steven Sauerwein, were selected as Grand Champions at the Lonestar Showcase of Music Festival May 8 at the Eisemann Center in Richardson.

The students have been working since January to perfect their Full Orchestra program and both of the Directors are so proud of their amazing performance.  In addition to winning the competition, this Symphony Orchestra is also preparing a recording to submit to the Texas Music Educators Association Middle School Honor Orchestra Competition in June.

Your next opportunity to witness this impressive orchestra is when they join forces with the rest of the Williams MS Fine Arts Department to present Willy Wonka on May 28-30, 2015.  The production will be held at Williams Middle School.  Tickets will cost $8  for adults and $5 for students and children.  If you bring in two cans for food you will receive a $1 off of your admission.  All canned food donations will go to the local food bank.
