Both the High School Band and the Junior High Band recently competed at UIL concert and sight-reading evaluations. The High School Band received straight ones from all judges and earned their Sweepstakes award for the year. The Junior High Band earned a Sweepstakes at Pre UIL then received a 2 on stage and straight ones in sight-reading at UIL. We are very proud of the student’s efforts at contest. A huge shout out to the staff as well for all the work they put in to help make this a successful concert season. Thank you, Mr. Todd Baker, Mrs. Sprinkle-Baker and Mr. Wright.

Results from Solo and Ensemble Contest 2021
Posted by Mr. C in Uncategorized on February 9, 2021
36 Kemp High School Band Students competed in the Region 3 Solo and Ensemble Competition Saturday February 6th at Canton High School. Students either performed an individual solo or were a member of a small group of similar instruments. Some competed in both categories as well.
The students perform their music for one judge who then gives that performance a rating. The rating score ranges from Division 1, which is the highest score you can achieve, down through Division 5. Each solo or ensemble is classified into 3 groups. Class 1 is the most difficult, Class 2 is of a medium range and Class 3 is on an easier level. Here is the list of students that earned a Division 1 rating from their judges…
