Students prepare music provided to them by either a private instructor or band director. They can perform either a solo or a duet. If they perform a solo, a piano accompaniment usually is performed with the solo part. If a student needs an accompanist, a phone number of an available person will be given to them. They should plan on meeting with this person at least two times before their performance. A student performing a solo should plan on staying after school on a regular basis to receive help from Mrs. Redmond if they do not already have a private instructor. If students choose to perform a duet, music will be provided to them. A piano accompaniment is usually not necessary. They should plan on staying after school once per week to work on their music with their duet partner and a teacher. 7th and 8th grade students interested in performing at Solo and Ensemble must sign up with Mrs. Redmond now. A $9.00 performance fee (per person, per event) is due on February 25.
