Students Compete and Earn High Honors at ISSMA

Several BCHS students perform for ISSMA District Solo and Ensemble on Saturday, February 8.

For context, these students worked on music in ensembles or a solo that was outside of what we do in class, and performed it for a judge,  receiving a rating and comments. They all represented Brown County well today.

Several students performed in group one, which is the hardest level of music. Students who perform in group 1 and receive a gold rating are eligible to take that solo and go and perform at the state level.

Six of the competing events qualified for state.  Congratulations! All of them did a wonderful job. 

Those qualifying for state include: Natasha Robertson (percussion), Jayce Riggle (trombone), Alayna Jacobus (French horn), Levi Phillips (trumpet), Owen East (trombone), and the Percussion Ensemble (Cadence Cox, Alex Foster, Rosalyn McGrayel, Cohen Farmer, Xavier Himebaugh, Natasha Robertson ,Jayce Riggle, and Alayna Jacobus).
