Dear Fifth Grade Orchestra Students and Parents;
On Saturday, April 14th there will be a solo and ensemble contest at Dundee Crown High School beginning at 8:00 a.m. Fifth graders are usually scheduled between 8:00 and 10:00 a.m. Each orchestra students is eligible to be in two events, however it is not necessary to participate at all. This is an opportunity for students to play for a judge who will give them helpful hints to become better players. Extra preparation will be necessary to ensure that this is a positive experience. Each fifth grade orchestra student is encouraged to participate in possible.
A solo is played by just the student. An ensemble involves playing with one to three other students each playing an independent part. They should practice on their own - not just at school.
