GLENWOOD CITY – Members of the Colfax Music Department attended the Solo & Ensemble Festival on Tuesday, March 12th. Schools participating were: Colfax, Durand and Glenwood City.  The primary purposes of WSMA festivals are to:

•  Establish standards of quality for music literature.

•  Motivate students to prepare and perform to the best of their abilities.

•  Improve students’ understanding of music literature and music concepts

•  Provide opportunities for performance of original student compositions.

•  Support improvement of school music programs through individual and group achievement.

•  Encourage exploration of diverse musical styles and ensemble combinations.

The Wisconsin School Music Association uses the following guidelines for criteria checkmarks:

*I & I – Excellent (consistently outstanding)

II – Very Good (very good performance with only minor shortcomings)

III – Good (demonstrating accomplishment but lacking several essential qualities)

IV – Fair (numerous weaknesses and/or errors)

V – Poor (lacking in fundamental aspects of performance, understanding, or preparation)
