Here is the final information for the District Solo and Ensemble Festival for this Saturday, February 8th, at Haslett High School. This packet includes the schedule of events for Williamston and a map of assigned rooms at Haslett High School. Please let me know if you have questions.
Good luck to all of our students participating. Any soloist/ensemble that earns a I rating on Saturday will have qualified for the State Festival, which will take place on Saturday, March 22nd, at Chelsea High School. Our deadline to register for the State Festival will be Wednesday, February 12th. Please check your calendars and be ready to register if you earn a first division rating. Thanks. Lynn Kelsey The fee for the piano accompaniment for solos (or for any ensemble with a piano part) this year is $50.00. The Band Boosters are going to cover half of this amount. Families should plan to pay the accompanist $25.00 by this Friday.
The accompanist's name is Rachel Baljeu. Checks should be made out directly to her. Cash is also acceptable. It would be nice to include a Thank You note as well with your payment. Again, please plan to take care of this by Friday, February 7th. Thanks. Lynn Kelsey Attached is the schedule of times for the District Solo and Ensemble Festival at Haslett High School on Saturday, February 8th. Students should plan to arrive 30 minutes before their performance time to warmup. We should be receiving a map of the performance/warmup rooms from Haslett very soon.
Thanks, Lynn Kelsey |
