Sole & Ensemble Shout Out

Congratulations to Lees Corner musicians for a great showing in the District XII Solo & Ensemble Festival! 24 strings musicians earned medals at the event for Excellent and Superior performances! It was our first live Solo and Ensemble in a few years and while some musicians went in a little nervous, they ALL came out with big smiles from their successful performances.


SOL testing will take place in May in grades 3-6. The calendar is available using the link below.
