40 members of the Wind Esnemble and 4 from Concert Band participated in this year's MN HS League Solo and Ensemble Contest at Edina HS on Wednesday and Thursday this week. Our 8 soloists all earned superior ratings with Emily Gotzsche receiving a perfect 40 score. Of the 13 ensembles, 4 earned Excellent ratings and 9 earned Superiors with the mostly senior Brass Quintet of Andrew Giese, Chris Riddle, Kira Seidel, Zack Christianson, and Phoebe Chastain receiving "Best in Site" recognition.
I'm so pleased and proud of our accomplished musicians! Please congratulate these students.
