State Solo & Ensemble contests

We had a big weekend this last weekend, and as I list the results, I must state that EVERY group and soloist did an incredible job!  I am so proud of the work that these students showed and musicality that they presented.

I would also like to thanks some parents that were so instrumental (pun intended) in helping me run the 2024 State Chamber Music Contest.  You all made me look really good. 😊
