The Beginner Band Solo Contest is on Thursday, April 28th at Pearson Middle School. This contest is for all students in Beginner Band.

Students will arrive 15 minutes before their solo's start time so they can find their room and warm‐up.
Students will leave after they perform. They will receive results and awards from their band directors in class the next day.
Families are allowed to be in the performance room while their student is playing.
Since this is a performance for a live judge, we are asking that students wear nice clothes to the event. This includes collared shirts, slacks, dresses, pantsuits, dress shoes, etc. We ask that students avoid wearing jeans, shorts, tennis shoes, or sandals
