FESTIVAL RESULTS
High School District Solo and Ensemble Music Festival
Held at Whitehall High School
February 17, 2016
Congratulations high band and choir students who participated in the district solo & ensemble festival on Wednesday, February 17, 2016! All students listed below performed their solos and/or ensembles for a judge who offered constructive comments following the performance. All events are rated based on a point system for five categories including tone, balance, blend, rhythmic accuracy, pitch accuracy, musical expression and intonation. These students have worked very hard to get to performance level and should be commended for their outstanding level of participation and accomplishment. Ratings possible are: 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th or 5th. There are three levels of difficulty; Class C is the first, or easiest, Class B is the second level and is noticeably more difficult; and Class A is the hardest level that brings with it the chance to participate in the state solo/ensemble festival on Saturday, May 7, 2016 at UW-Eau Claire.
A special thank you to our accompanists; Richard Staff, Nancy Martinovici, Krista Kjos and Jackie Goplin! Thank you to our room monitors; Colleen Cantlon-Marler, Viola Jacobson and Mark Kjos!
