Bloomington High School North Bands

North Students Excel at ISSMA District Contest

(3 February 2009) Numerous Bloomington North student musicians performed extremely well at the recent ISSMA Solo & Ensemble Festival, January 31, 2009. Below is a listing of the results. Every student who participated should be congratulated for learning music beyond what we study in our band classes, and for stepping up to perform WITHOUT a director. Special congratulations to the Group 1 soloists and ensemble members for tackling music of the highest level, andg good luck to everyone who will be performing at State Solo & Ensemble on February 21 at North Central HS.
