Some of our students had the pleasure of participating in ISSMA Solo and Ensemble at Clay High School in South Bend on January 26.

We had two piano soloists who both got Gold ratings, two vocal ensembles who got a gold and a silver rating, and seven vocal soloists perform, 5 of whom got a gold rating and 2 a silver rating.
