Students taking music classes were given the option to participate in the KMEA regional solo and ensemble competition.

Freshman Calista Isbell has participated in the event for the last three years, and received a I on her vocal solo.

“I am glad that I received a I, and very surprised too,” Isbell said. “I feel like I did not practice as much as I needed to.”

Isbell said contests are an obligation for her.

“It is fun, but it is very stressful,” Isbell said. “I have gone to contest since middle school when I moved to Hays.”

Participants may receive a rating of a I, II, III, IV, and V. A I is a nearly flawless performance, a V being a performance with numerous flaws.
