Advanced Solo Contest Results

This past Saturday, members of the Symphonic Band and Wind Ensemble competed in the Advanced Solo Contest at BMS. We hired professional judges to listen and rate their performances that our students have been preparing individually for the past couple of months. Students could earn a medal with a First Division Superior rating, a ribbon for a Second Division Excellent rating, or just their comment sheet for a Third Division Average rating. Judges also named Outstanding Performers based on their preference from the ones that went above and beyond.

Out of 93 events, 69 of them were rated First Division Superior, which is 75% of the total! There were 18 Second Division Excellent ratings, and 6 Third Division Average ratings. Please join us in congratulating the following 14 students who were named Outstanding Performers:
