Solo & Ensemble Contest is an opportunity for students to perform chamber music in a smaller group setting other than the full band. Besides solos (with piano accompaniment), students are able to perform in trios, quartets, quintets and like-instrument choirs. Students are judged individually on their performance but are assigned a rating. They are NOT ranked as was the case with All-Region Band.

Rating “I ” (best) = “Superior or excellent” performance (only these students will receive a medal)
Rating “II”
Rating “III”
Rating” IV” = “Below Average” performance
Only those solos and ensembles earning the Rating of “I” receive medals

The ClarkMiddleSchool Band had a FANTASTIC DAY!!

SOLOS: Of the 93 Clark MS soloists competing: 70 won FIRST DIVISION SUPERIOR medals, and 20 soloists were judged as “Excellent”!<!xml:namespace prefix = o />

ENSEMBLES: Out of the ensembles competing, Clark MS had FIRST DIVISION medals in all 7 of 7 ensembles!

****SPECIAL AWARDS!!!****
In addition to the ratings, the Judge in each room selected TWO OUTSTANDING SOLOISTS as well as ONE MOST EXEMPLARY SOLOIST
CLARK MIDDLE SCHOOL WON 14 OUT OF A POSSIBLE 27 OUTSTANDING/EXEMPLARY AWARDS!!!

Way to go Cougar Band!
