If you are a soloist in grades 10-12 performing at State S&E, you will need to prepare a proficiency level to perform along with your solo (scales and sightreading). More information about proficiency levels and scales may be found by clicking here.

We have two more remaining rehearsals: March 8, and March 15th. Please plan on attending these rehearsals in order for us to be prepared for State S&E on Saturday, March 18th!
