District Solo & Ensemble Results

Saturday was a great day at District Solo & Ensemble contest in Shawnee. Matthew Lindsey, Samantha Spears, Buck Roberson, Justin Frazier, Sarah Jones, Jessica Painter, Michael Lindsey and Clint Humphers received highest ratings of Superior (I) on their solos. Tiffany Vogt, Samantha Spears, Lori Coats, Blake Barnes, Will Bailey, Cody Williams, Gabby Fowler and Garrett Thompson received highest ratings of Superior (I) on their ensembles. Steven Vekony, Blake Barnes, Blake Loy received ratings of Excellent (II) on their solos and Nathan Enns received a rating of Good (III) on his solo.

Matthew L, Samantha S, Tiffany V, Lori C and Blake B qualified for the OSSAA State Music Contest at OSU in April.

Our preparation for this contest was delayed due to the snow and fire days so these accomplishments are very commendable. I am quite sure we would have had many more students participate if we had not missed the week of class in January.

Congratulations to all!

Wednesday, February 28, the high school concert band performs at District Band Contest at Konawa High School. Our band plays at 1:00 P.M. This is the most important competition of our year and the students are preparing well. We perform two pieces of music on stage and then we go to sight-reading contest. Parents are welcome to view the performance in the auditorium but are not allowed in the sight-reading room. We should return to school by 3:15 Wednesday afternoon.
