Large Group Vocal Festival Results
On April 25th, the Lake Mills High School Mixed Concert Choir attended the Capitol Conference Large Group Vocal Festival in New Glarus. They received a First Rating on their three Class A pieces. The Freshman/Sophomore Women’s L-Cat Choir received a Second (one first and two seconds from the three judges) for their three Class A pieces. Both groups did a wonderful job with challenging repertoire.
State Solo & Ensemble Results:
On Saturday, April 28th, many of our music students went to UW-Whitewater for the state solo & ensemble contest. Each judge at the contest is given four exemplary awards to give to exceptional performances throughout the day at their discretion. They don’t have to give any out if they don’t feel anyone is deserving. So it is exciting to report that two Lake Mills students, Silvia Bond (art song) and Madeline Bergum (theatre song), received the Exemplary Award for their vocal solos.
In addition, the following students also received a First Rating:
Vocal Solos: Chase Black, Emily Johnson, Bryce Krull, and Madeline Bergum
Theatre Solos: Chase Black, Margaret Bond, and Emily Johnson
Vocal Duets: Margy Diaz & Hannah Brill and Madeline Bergum & Nick Anderson
Piano Solos: Emma Koeppel and Steve Woerpel
These students and groups received a Second Rating:
Vocal Solos: Margaret Bond and Bill Mulligan
Theatre Solos: Silvia Bond and Patience Vallier
Tuba Solo: Carl Koeppel
Piano Solo: Hannah Brill
Plus the Women’s Triple Trio, Women’s Barbershop Quartet and the String Ensemble
