High School Musicians Shine, Head to State Solo and Ensemble Contest

Musicians from the four comprehensive Northshore School District high schools performed very well at the Northlake Regional Solo and Ensemble Contest on Feb. 8. A number of soloist and ensemble entries from our schools won first place in their divisions and will go on to compete at the state WIAA/WMEA solo and ensemble contest in April. Several more entries were named as 1st or 2nd alternates for the state contest. Congratulations to these outstanding Northshore student-musicians!
