2025 Glenwood City solo & ensemble results announced

Glenwood City High School hosted Solo & Ensemble Festival on Friday, March 14th. Schools participating were: Spring Valley, Mondovi, Menomonie, Prescott,  Plum City, Colfax, River Falls, 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)

CO – Critique only.  Students played for the experience of getting feedback from adjudicators.  No rating assigned.
