DISTRICT SOLO AND ENSEMBLEThe Walled Lake Schools District Solo and Ensemble competition will be held Friday, Jan 31 and Saturday, Feb 1, 2014, at Hartland HS, 10635 Dunham Rd, Hartland, MI 48353. The MSBOA (Michigan School Band and Orchestra Association) sponsors an annual "festival" in which students can choose to play in either a solo or ensemble performance. Students are responsible for selecting, securing, and practicing their own music on their own time.
SCORING:Each student or group of students is evaluated by one judge and rated on a scale of 1 to 5 with 1 being the highest rating possible. Students or groups that earn a rating of 1 (or "Superior") are qualified for State Solo & Ensemble Festival which is held in March. The basic structure of State Solo & Ensemble Festival is the same as District. Soloists in grades 10 through 12 must perform Proficiency Exams which include scales and sight reading. Participating students that earn a rating of 1 or 2 at District or State Festivals are eligible to purchase medals.

FESTIVAL CONCERT TESTING SCHEDULE 2014Festival date is not yet assigned, but it is believed it will be March 14th at Walled Lake Northern HS. The Pre-Festival concert will take place at WLC on February 27th, at 7PM.
Please use the info below to plan and prepare. Take special note of the tempo markings as they will be enforced. Best wishes for successful tests! You can do it. Plan and prepare! Students will be allowed to re-take any playing test within 1 week of the assigned test. To facilitate this, the retakes need to be done on Smart Music when possible. Students may play for Mr. Rogers right after school on one of the school computers. Students may also submit the retake from home via Smart Music if that is more convenient. No one will be forced to get Smart Music personally, as we have 2 computers at school with the program on it. It is, however, very convenient and helpful.
