For the parents and boosters of Fort Atkinson School Orchestra                                                          Spring 2001
Good job, Solo/Ensemble participants!
Fort Atkinson hosts Southern Lakes Competition; Orchestra students excell
    Fort Atkinson High School hosted the area Solo/Ensemble competition Saturday, March 10.

    Developed by the Wisconsin School Music Association, students in grades 6 through 12 from the southern Lakes Conference performed selected pieces for critique and were awarded a first through fifth rating.

     This is the fourth year Fort has been part of the conference competition; and continues to be the only school with orchestra students participating.

     The Solo/Ensemble contest gives students extra incentive to practice and to learn solo and /or ensemble pieces. It provides a wonderful performing experience for our young musicians.

      Many students played solos as well as performed in one or more ensembles. Students performing class A pieces and receiving a starred "1" rating advance onto state competition (see*).

Here is how Fort Orchestra fared at the competition. Congratulations to all participants !
