Solo and Ensemble results from Saturday

32 Kemp High School Band Students competed in the Region 3 Solo and Ensemble Competition this past Saturday at Mesquite High School.  Students either performed an individual solo or was 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…
