We are thrilled to recognize Katelyn Ruse, Harrison Sarnac, and Sean Sawyer for their outstanding performances at the 2025 Michigan School Band and Orchestra Association (MSBOA) Solo & Ensemble Festival, held on Saturday, February 1, at Tecumseh High School. These talented musicians earned a Division I rating, the highest possible score, for their performances, qualifying them for the State Solo & Ensemble Festival on March 15, 2025!
The MSBOA Solo & Ensemble Festival is where student musicians perform solos or small group ensembles for an adjudicator (Music Judge). Performances are evaluated based on tone, technique, interpretation, and overall musicality and are scored on a 5-division rating scale, with Division I (Superior) being the highest. Achieving a Division I rating is a testament to these students' hard work, dedication, and musicianship!
Please join us to celebrate Katelyn, Harrison, and Sean's incredible achievements! We wish them the best as they prepare for the State Festival in March!
