WLIS Music

Registration for the 2026 annual event hosted by the Indiana State School Music Association (ISSMA) is now open. Students competing with piano solos will perform at William Henry Harrison High School in West Lafayette on Saturday, January 31, 2026. Only students who take private lessons should register for the event. To be eligible, students must also be enrolled in a music ensemble at WLIS (band, orchestra, or choir). Please note that the required general music class does not qualify as an ensemble.

When filling out their registration form, students will need to select which Group Level they would like to enter in. These levels range in difficulty. Students should discuss what they should put for this section with their private instructor. Students entering in Group I will have the opportunity to advance to the state-level competition, if they achieve a gold rating. Students entering in Group I must perform a song from the list of required song selections. 

You can get a printed copy of the registration form Miss Hale in the music room or print your own here. Fill out the form and place it in a signed envelope labeled “Piano ISSMA Fee.” Please enclose the solo entry fee ($18.00 for solo entry, Groups II-V; $36.00 solo entry, Group I*) cash or check payable to WLCSC. Return this envelope to Miss Hale by Wednesday, November 12th.
