This morning we travelled to Palo Alto Middle School to compete in the Solo & Ensemble Competition. We ate a hearty breakfast of burritos and juice, got our equipment and gathered our nerves to face the judges.
This event was for 7th and 8th grade students in RED and WHITE Band. 6th grade will be in May at Manor MS.
Students were offered an opportunity to play in a small group, perform a solo or do both things for a medal and/or a ribbon!
I am proud to say that we had 14 entries and we earned 19 First Division Medals and 23 Second Division Ribbons!
Total for Contest: 42!!!
The kids will receive their comment sheets and medals/ribbons on Monday!
GO BIG HORN BAND!
Not only did they play well, they used their best manners before the event, at the event and on both bus rides. Perfect travelers!
