Competing against the performing groups from all Northern Region 8AA schools, Moorhead High School’s Concert Choir, Chorale, Chamber Orchestra, Symphony Orchestra and Wind Ensemble earned top honors in each of their categories at the Minnesota State High School League’s Region/State Large Group Music Contest in Bemidji in April. Each group was awarded superior ratings by a panel of professional musicians and music educators.

The Moorhead High choirs are directed by Kathie Brekke, the Moorhead High Wind Ensemble is directed by Pam Redlinger and the Moorhead High Orchestras are directed by Jon Larson. The directors and students were recognized by the Moorhead School Board in late May.
