Hi, hey, hello!
Congratulations to the following students who performed at the IHSA Solo and Ensemble contest this past Saturday at Alton High School! For IHSA, there are five possible ratings, with a I being the highest and a V being the lowest. I is superior, II is excellent, III is good, IV is fair, and V is poor. Receiving a I or II is an honor and all of our band students received top scores.
