Eastshore Region’s Middle School Solo and Ensemble Festival
Who can participate: Any student in grades 6th-8th.
When: Saturday, March 10, 2012
Where: Bellevue Christian High School – 1601 98th Ave NE, Clyde Hill, 98004
Time: 8:00am-5:00pm (students will be given a ten minute slot to perform within the festival’s event times)
Cost: $15, plus any accompanist fees (if applicable)
Music: All students must perform a classical or folk piece (No pop, rock, Broadway or other non-classical pieces).
Deadline: Please submit payment & the Solo Registration Form to Mrs. Bolstad by Friday, February 10. Checks made payable to Sacred Heart School.
Purpose: The solo/ensemble contests are intended to provide student musicians an opportunity to perform a solo in front of an adjudicator and a limited audience, and to receive constructive comments, both spoken and written, from the adjudicator. The primary benefits to the students are the experience of performing alone, and to receive a critique from someone other than their regular music teacher(s).
If you need suggestions or assistance in selecting appropriate music, please contact Mrs. Bolstad or your private music instructor. This is a non-competitive festival open to performers in the following categories:
· Woodwinds
· Brass
· Strings
· Percussion
· Piano
· Guitar
· Voice
