Steller band students played well at District Solo/Ensemble Festival

Six Steller band students participated at the District Solo/Ensemble Festival on February 26, 2016, at UAA. Isabelle L. on flute played Cantabile et Presto by George Enesco; Tatiana R. on flute played Allegro by Leonard Vinci; and Erica S. on trumpet Azim R., Kohlby V. on trombone, and Sam R. on tuba formed a brass quartet and played An Elizabethan Madrigal. Bella earned “I (superior)” rating. Tatiana and the brass quartet each received “II (excellent)” rating. “This is the first time in many years that so many Steller band students entered the high school solo/ensemble festival”, said Mr. Toba. “All of the students played well under such pressure. I am very proud of them, and I would like to congratulate Bella for advancing to state.” The State Solo/Ensemble Festival will be May 6 and 7 at UAA.
