Frisco ISD Solo and Ensemble Contest

Saturday, May 14th

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 and are assigned a rating. They are NOT ranked as was the case with All-Region Band.

Rating “I” = Superior performance

Rating “II” = “Excellent” performance

Rating “III”= “Below Average” performance

Only those solos and ensembles earning the rating of “I” receive medals

Congratulations to these 149 outstanding young musicians for earning a Superior rating on their solo or ensemble:

Congratulations to the following students for earning the “Outstanding Player of the Day” in their room:

S. Kosanke — Oboe

C. Shen — Trumpet

P. Tang — French Horn

T. Barnes — Trombone
