District Solo & Ensemble Results

Last Friday, Upper Division Band students showcased their talent at District Solo & Ensemble, performing 35 adjudicated events. Each performance was rated Superior, Excellent, Good, Fair, or Poor, with students receiving immediate feedback to support their continued musical growth.

Our students did a phenomenal job, earning 24 Superior ratings and 11 Excellent ratings. Students who received a Superior rating on a Level 5 or higher have now qualified for the State Solo & Ensemble event later this spring.
