The next major event for the Freshmen Band students is Solo and Ensemble Contest. This event will take place on Saturday, February 16, 2013 at Crestwood High School in Mantua. I thought I would take a moment to answer some frequently asked questions about this important event.
1. What is Solo and Ensemble?
Solo and Ensemble Contest is an event sponsored by the Ohio Music Education Association. Students have the opportunity to perform a solo or as part of an ensemble in front of an adjudicator. (All adjudicators are music teachers with at least five years of teaching experience.) Students will earn a rating based on their performance. (I=Superior, II=Excellent, III=Good, IV=Fair, V=Poor)
2. What time is Solo & Ensemble Contest?
Contest begins at 8:00 a.m. and concludes at 5:00 p.m. We will receive a schedule of specific performance times approximately one week prior to contest. (I will distribute it to students as soon as I get it and post a copy here as well.) Students are only required to be at the event for their performance time. They are not required to stay for the entire day.
3. Where do students perform at Solo & Ensemble Contest?
Solo & Ensemble Contest is held at Crestwood High School in Mantua. Our school will be assigned a 'homeroom' where we can keep jackets and cases. We will perform in classrooms throughout the school.
4. How do students get to and from Solo & Ensemble Contest?
Their will be a school bus to provide transportation for students. Or, students have the option of riding with their parents. More details about this when we know the specific performance times.
