We had more students than ever before participating in the Maryland Music Educators Association State Solo/Ensemble Festival at Towson University, on Saturday May 16. These students had to receive a Superior Rating in the Howard County Solo/Ensemble in February in order to participate in this State-wide event, and our students did us proud!!!!

These students worked extremely hard in order to be able to participate in this event, and I'm so proud of them all!!! This truly is the culmination of a lot of hard work and dedication with some extremely challenging music!!! Way to go!!!
