MHS Students Perform at ISSMA Solo & Ensemble Contest

2/5/2023

 
Picture
On Saturday, MHS students performed at the ISSMA (Indiana State School Music Association) Solo and Ensemble Contest hosted by Northwood High School. 

Students prepared pieces over the past couple months and performed as a soloist or part of a small ensemble (trio, quartet, etc.). Judges critiqued the performances using a rubric that includes nine categories and areas for comments. The scores are added up, and the students receive a rating of gold, silver, or bronze. Students enter the contest in different ability levels - Group V (easiest) through Group I (most difficult). If a soloist or ensemble earns a gold rating on a Group I piece, they qualify to perform at the state level at North Central High School on February 25th. 

Special thanks to the following people for their help over the past couple months!
- Mrs. Marie Blunt for coming in to help rehearse small ensembles and soloists
- Mr. Bart Roberts for coming in to help rehearse small ensembles and soloists
- Mrs. Elaine Lange for serving as a piano accompanist for the soloists
