On May 4, during the Avenues of the Arts, the annual Solo and Ensemble contest was conducted. Many students performed in front of judges for the title of Best Performance in their category.

The best vocal performance was given by Marty Pazdioch '80 who sang "Thus Saith the Lord" accompanied by Meg Swensen '80. Sharon Markwork '79 and her performance of "Toccata" on the piano was deemed the best, as was Mark Ilker '80's cello solo of the Schuler Concertino. Mark was accompanied by Chris Berg '81.

Among the band students, the best brass/percussion performance was given by the brass sextet of Brad Briskey '79, Greg Coburn '80, Steve Hines '80, Mary Morgan '80, and Kevin Winterroth '81. They performed a piece entitled "Modern Moods." Russ Scott '80 won in the woodwind division. He played "Fantaisie Mooresque" and was accompanied by Yvonne Pytlik '79. Finally, flutist Melinda Carter '80 performed "Adante from Concerto in D. Minor." This winning player was accompanied by Jill Jackson '81.

After school on May 10 these winners gathered once again to play ‑ this time to determine the best musician in the department. Mark Ilker '80 was the winner, and he will perform his competition piece at the concert tonight.
