All-Region, All-State Orchestra

The Solo and Ensemble Festival is a district-wide event for middle and high school students designed to improve the level of individual and small group performance. The festival is not competitive and does not rank or rate students against one another. Students earn a rating for their performance(s). The rating is determined by a performance standard and musical difficulty. High school students earn lettering points for each solo and ensemble entry.

The contest is held in mid-April. Detailed information will be distributed closer to the event. Participation in the solo portion of the festival is required for intermediate and advanced students. Students receive a test grade for this event.

Accompanist (optional)

The student will have two one-on-one rehearsals and the performance with the accompanist. The TCO will secure qualified piano accompanists or students may elect to use accompanists of their own, at the discretion of the directors.
