Orchestra students during the contest

Congratulations to the Po-Hi Symphony String Orchestra for earning three superior ratings at the Oklahoma Secondary School Activities Association (OSSAA) Regional String Orchestra Contest, held at Edmond Santa Fe High School on Wednesday, November 19, 2025.

The orchestra is under the direction of Paula Cochran, with assistant directors Katie Hauge and Dylan Labon.

“The Symphony Orchestra would like to thank Dr. John Clinton and Mr. Dan Larson for their continued support of our program. It takes a village to help our students reach our contest goals. Thank you to Mr. Chad Keilman, Mr. Connor Pratt, and Mr. Trent Davis for traveling to contest with us today. We also would like to thank our bus drivers, Eddie Randall and Trenton Walters, for getting us to contest safely. A very special thank you to our Symphony Orchestra students—they gave their all today, and it is an honor to be on the podium with them,” said Paula Cochran. “We are excited to have Mr. Larson join us for our upcoming Holiday Concert.”

Please join us on Tuesday, December 9, 2025, at 7:00 p.m. for our Holiday Concert featuring the Symphony Strings, Po-Hi Chorale, and Symphonic Brass, Winds, and Percussion. This concert is free to the public!
