What do they have in common?

 A Solo and Ensemble Adjudicated Event!

 This year 16 talented high school students will spend four Thursday afternoons “coaching” the 7th and 8th grade ensembles in preparation for the Reynoldsburg Solo & Ensemble Festival on March 23, 2002. Emily Brown, Kate Allen, Karen Brown, Aaron Primm, Mary Newell, Nikki Richardson, Betsy Gillenwater, Cindy Hsieh, Mike Hsieh, Nathan Griffith, Lauren McMillin, Rob Hale, Lisa Steward, Bart Titus, Katie Starling and Affiong Ibokette will work with their ensembles each week for 50 minutes. The high school students were chosen because of their musical ability, experience playing ensembles, maturity, reliability, and the ability to relate in a positive way to younger musicians. The high school students will work with the junior high students on counting, playing in tune, style, confidence, and expectations for the adjudicated event. It’s a win-win situation for both age levels. The high school students learn how to analyze and teach music. The Junior High students have a “buddy” who is a high school student, a positive role model, and a person who can answer questions about music. Thank you to all students involved in this endeavor!
