Friday Feb. 5, several band students attended the region UIL Solo and Ensemble contest. This contest is an individual event in which the students learn the students chose a solo or ensemble from the state prescribed list. There are three classifications of difficulty for these solos. Class three solos bring a bronze medal, class two bring a silver medal, and class one bring a gold medal. The students learn the solo with little help from the directors.

Five students returned home with medals. Those students are:

Dexter Mize, Class two Trombone, solo, Silver Medal; Jesse Wilson, Class two, Baritone Solo, Silver Medal and Suzy Madrid, Class one, Flute Solo, Gold Medal.

Students who learn a class one solo, perform it memorized and receive a medal advance to state. Two students will be advancing to state. They are:

Senior, Justin Dupuis - Trumpet Solo and Sophomore, Cameron Hutchison -Tuba Solo.
