NORWELL MIDDLE SCHOOL ANNOUNCES BAND COMPETITION RESULTS

Thirty-five band students from Norwell Middle School participated in the ISSMA solo and ensemble contest held Saturday, January 30. Students who competed learned to play a solo or ensemble piece on their own time, not during class time.
The Norwell students traveled to Wayne High School for the competition and performed in front of a judge who rated them in nine different music categories. Twenty-seven students received a "Gold" rating, seven students received a "Silver" rating, and one student received a "Bronze" rating.
