Next Saturday, you will see some of the best young musicians perform alone or in small groups at Sevastopol High School.   Students from Gibraltar Secondary, Sevastopol High School, Sevastopol Middle School, Southern Door High School, Southern Door Middle School, Sturgeon Bay High School, and Thomas J Walker Middle School will all travel to Institute on February 15 for the annual Wisconsin School Music Association (WSMA) sanctioned District Solo and Ensemble Music Festival. Students will perform vocal or instrumental pieces as soloists or as part of a small ensemble before judges.  The festival offers  an opportunity for students to get constructive feedback on their singing or playing so they can grow as musicians.

The event runs from 8 a.m. until 4 p.m. and is free for the public to attend.  Students who receive a starred first rating at the district level will advance to the state competition.  The WSMA State Solo and Ensemble Music Festival will be held on university campuses around Wisconsin, including at UW-Green Bay, on Saturday, May 3.
