2009 Solo and Ensemble Competition

Yesterday, Bonnie competed in two music categories at the 2009 Solo and Ensemble Competition.  If a player is judged the category winner, then he or she or they win the right to compete at the statewide competition held in Ellensburg in April.

I didn’t take any photos during the performances, but I did take a few during setup.

Bonnie finished tied for fourth place in the city.  Here is an excerpt from her Blue Bells of Scotland.

The ensemble won a trip to the State finals with this performance of Grand Valley Fanfare.  However, they will decline to compete at State because three members will be performing on that same day in the Reno Jazz Festival.
