Day 41 in 2024

Our final district Solo and Ensemble.

This year he earned two blue ribbons with an accompanied solo (with his favortie accompanist, of course), and a nine person chamber ensemble. This ensemble was amazing! They did two pieces, arranged by two students in the group, and they were so fantastic Jon and I both had tears in our eyes.

That makes six years of S&E, at three events each year (bassoon solo, piano solo, ensemble) until he gave up piano last year, and one pandemic year with no event, but that's a still a LOT of blue ribbons!
