Congratulations to the 4th Period Junior High Band members who participated in Ohio Music Education Association's District 16 Solo and Ensemble Adjudicated Events on Saturday, April 5th at Chillicothe Middle School! Everyone who performed received either a Superior or Excellent rating on at least one of their performances! We are proud of how everyone performed, supported each other, and behaved throughout the day. It takes a lot of courage to perform for adjudicators and in a completely new environment. They also learned and rehearsed the music mostly on their own! Way to go! Thank you for all of your hard work!

Landon Geisel received an Excellent Rating (II) on his clarinet solo, Chorale from "Jupiter."
