The group received the Professionalism Award, Best Overall Unit 3 Award and Best Overall Unit 5 Awards. The team will now move on to compete in nationals. They are led by teachers Jackie Fernandez, Ingy Cruz and John Brady who worked diligently to prepare the students for all levels of competition and the one yet to come.
