Congratulations Erica, Jessie, Kohlby, and Tatiana! Steller band students, Jessie Hardison on flute, Erica Stryker on trumpet, Tatiana Rogers on flute, and Kohlby Vierthaler on trombone entered the solo adjudication during the Aurora Music Festival last Friday. Jessie’s selection was Canzona by Ferdinando Bertoni; Tatiana’s selection was “Sonata for Flute in F Major by George Philipp Telemann; Erica’s selection was “Trumpet Concerto Movement 2” by Johann Hummel; and Kohlby’s selection was “October – Autumn Song” by Peter Tchaikovsky. The students all received superior ratings, thus they have earned the right to perform at the state solo/ensemble festival. Marcia Stratman did all of the piano accompaniment. “The students practiced hard and wisely, and their effort paid off”, said Mr. Toba, the band director. “I can not be more proud of the students for such a great accomplishment.” The ASAA State Solo/Ensemble Festival will be Friday, May 11 and Saturday, the 12th, at U.A.A.
