District Music Contest was held Friday, April 18, 2008 at Neligh – Oakdale High School.  Elgin Public Schools had 11 entries in the event.  We got straight 1's all across the board.  It was an unbelievable day for us!  I had many comments from other schools, judges, administrators, parents and hosts from Neligh about the wonderful performances our students had that day.  Our students are to be commended for their efforts.  I have taught many years and to get ALL Superiors is a first for me.  Here are the results.

Concert Band (critiqued by 3 judges) received a Superior.

Mixed Choir (critiqued by 3 judges) received a Superior.  One judge gave the choir a perfect score!  The choir also received a plaque for getting a 1 rating from all 3 judges.

The following groups ALL received a Superior:  The Girls Ensemble,  Boys Quartet (Gabe Wiegand, Jonathan Gunderson, Jeff Bush, Nathan Niewohner), Girls Vocal Quartet (Jenna Schindler, Delphine Bataille, Kara Zegers, Caitlin Mortensen), Mixed Vocal Trio (Jenna Schindler, Caitlin Mortensen, Nathan Niewohner), and the Girls Vocal Duet (Tonya Wiegand, Jennifer Rhoads).

Soloists who received a Superior were: Snare Drum Solo by Eric Shoemaker, Flute Solo by Bethany Kallhoff,  Alto Sax Solo by Nathan Niewohner and a Vocal Solo by Nathan Niewohner.

The students will perform this music one more time at the District Music Concert on Tuesday, April 22, 2008 at 7:30 pm in the EPS gym.  We would love to see you there!
