Orchestra News

from Mr. Nutini

Congratulations to 7th grade ALPs student Yui W. On March 2, Yui participated in the WSMA District Solo and Ensemble Festival at Neenah High School. Yui performed a violin solo in class A (the highest class of repertoire) and received a star 1st rating. This highest possible rating qualified Yui for the WSMA State Solo and Ensemble Festival which will be held at the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh on April 27. We wish Yui all the best as she heads to state!

Good Luck at State, Yui!
