Solo and Ensemble Night
Solo and Ensemble Night
On Thursday, March 26 we will be hosting our 2nd Solo and Ensemble Night!
WHAT IS THIS EVENT?
Solo & Ensemble Night is a chance for students to perform as a soloist and/or in an ensemble for a judge who writes constructive comments and gives the student(s) a mini lesson with tips and tricks for future improvement. Judges are current band directors or professional musicians who are encouraging and will give positive and constructive feedback. Following their performance students will receive a slice of delicious Costco cake and a certificate to celebrate their accomplishment!
This event is not required but highly encouraged. Students who do not perform at Solo and Ensemble Night will perform during our in class recital. Solo and chamber ensemble performance is an essential part of becoming a well rounded musician and is very FUN! The total time commitment for the night is 30-45 minutes.
Please sign up for a time slot with the Google Form below by March 13.
