Band Students Attend Solo and Ensemble Contest

On March 21st, several of the band students attended a solo and ensemble contest at North Side High School in Jackson where they performed a variety of solos, duets, and trios for judges and were scored. Scoring ranged from 1 to 5 with 1 being the highest ranking, reserved for the best players. All together they were awarded 10 ribbons- five "excellent" ratings and five, top scoring, "superior" ratings. In addition we had two students awarded ribbons for scoring a 3. It was a good day for the HMS Band!
