Students will be taught a solo to be performed for a judge. They have the choice of either wearing their band shirt and blue jeans or dressing up in their extra best attire. We want to make a great impression on the judges so no shorts are allowed. Each student will be given an individual performance time the week before. Students who play well enough will be given a gold medal for their hard work.
