Last Saturday, January 25th, a few of our Garfield Heights High School Band students participated in the Ohio Music Educators Association’s Solo and Ensemble Contest where students can perform in front of a judge for a rating and/or comments while showcasing their talents and working to better their musicianship. Many of our students performed well enough to earn Outstanding and Superior ratings of 1s and 2s on a scale from 1-5 with 1 being the best performance possible.
Please help me to congratulate the following individuals who received the top ratings;
Kiera Wilson received a 1 in Class A on her snare drum solo,
Myah Bonner received a 1 in Class C on her trumpet solo,
Elijah Hall received a 2 in Class B on his trumpet solo,
Trae Randle received a 2 in Class B on his Trombone solo,
Rosalie Toney received a 2 in Class C on her Trombone Solo!
*(Class A = College level music, Class B = Upper Level High School music, Class C = Intermediate level High School Music)
Amazing job to all that participated in the Solo and Ensemble contest this year! It really shows their passion and dedication to music to showcase your talents the way they did. If/when you see any of these students please make sure to congratulate them and give them a pat on the back!
Thank you all for your ongoing support for the GHCS Instrumental Music Department!
