This Thursday (2/22) we will be featuring many of our chamber music groups that will be performing the pieces that they have prepared for this weekend’s Solo & Ensemble Contest.

On Saturday, February 24th Cleveland HS will host the District 1 Solo & Ensemble Festival/Contest. To accomplish this task, we rely on parent and student volunteers to help make the event run smoothly and efficiently. The goal is to provide a rewarding experience for the adjudicators, participants and their families.
In order to accomplish this we will need to have a set up crew on Friday, February 23 from 3:30pm until 5:30pm. We will need parent assistants throughout the day on Saturday, February 24 to supervise the students and assist in putting classrooms back the way we found them.
Please help us make this a memorable event for all who participate!
