Parade Highlights!

The band marched in the Arlington Village Fest Parade, Carey Fest Parade, BG Holiday Parade, and the Fostoria Rotary Christmas Parade

Solo and Ensemble is an OMEA adjudicated event in which high school students have the opportunity to perform solo repertoire and/or ensemble repertoire in front of an adjudicator to receive constructive feedback and a rating.  While the actual event of solo and ensemble is important, the emphasis of this event is on the process leading up to the performance.  Students will select a solo that they are to prepare on their own, outside of band class. Their music should challenge them and push them to new heights in their musicianship as they prepare their music and strive for the highest rating of "superior".
