Every year  Springville Junior High School’s orchestra and many other schools go to Utah Valley University one day in May for a six hour long festival. In this festival, many schools perform and are judged on their performance. After the performances, the judges go up on stage to help the orchestra improve. “It’s an opportunity to go and be judged on all of the work you have done over the year. It’s a good learning experience,” said Alyssa Oman, eighth grade orchestra student at SJHS.

Springville Junior High School’s boys and girls choirs recently performed in the Nebo District Intermediate Choir Festival, along with four other schools: Mapleton, Spanish Fork, Mt. Nebo, and Payson Junior High Schools. Mrs. Leslie Walker, choir teacher at SJHS, said, “Each choir sang three songs. Then the judge came up and helped the choirs with a particular thing that he thought they needed to work on.” This choir festival was held at SJHS in the auditorium.
