Good luck to Sheldon High School students that will be attending the State Band/Choir Solo/Ensemble Contest on Saturday!
It will start roughly at 8:15am and will go until round 4pm at Western Christian High School in Hull.
This event is an opportunity for students to perform solos and in small groups. Judges will score them and assign a rating of 1-5, with 1 being "outstanding". There will be vocal and instrumental performances that take place in 7 minute blocks throughout the day. Some students are doing both and have several different performances.
