May 13, 2019
On Fri. May 3, students from the Gregory band grades 5-8 went to Winner for the solo music contest. The solos were rated as Superior +, Superior, Superior -, Excellent +, Excellent, or Excellent -. This year, Gregory brought 94 solos. The rating for each solo is listed below.
“I was very happy with many of the judge’s comments and with the student performances. It is always a good experience to have the students play solos in front of an audience, and it really makes them grow as musicians and individuals. The day was really busy! I could not have done it without the help of my wife Katie and our excellent accompanist Colleen Murray,” Band Director Jared Opp said.
