Solo Contest

On Saturday, February 9th, we will be hosting the UIL Region Solo and Ensemble Contest here at Clear Lake. In order to participate in this contest, the following information MUST be submitted to the band directors by Friday, January 11th:

• A complete Solo Contest Entry Form (attached to this email). Students must turn in a hard copy of this entry form, electronic copies will not be accepted.
  • Students will need to look up their Event code for each solo. Those can be found at this website: https://www.uiltexas.org/pml/.
• The original piano part for their solo
  • Students must have a piano accompanists for their solos, unless their piece does not require one. We need the piano part for these solos so that we can assign each student a piano accompanist and get them the music before their first rehearsal.

 
Next week, students will sign up for rehearsal times with their respective piano accompanists. They will also be responsible for paying their piano players at the first rehearsal, and the fee is $40 for a class 1 solo, $35 for a class 2 or 3. This fee covers the 2 rehearsals, as well as the contest performance.
 
The week of February 9th, we will email a performance schedule for the contest. Students will be assigned a performance time by the band directors, and if there are any questions they will need to speak to us during class.
 
Thank you for your help in this matter, and we look forward to a great spring semester!
