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 [1] Blue Bells of Scotland.

The ensemble won a trip to the State finals with this performance of [2] 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.
