This past weekend, six students traveled to Mt. Carmel for IGSMA Solo/Ensemble Contest and we are very proud to say that each student earned a 1st place score. Those students were:
Alaina Parker
Cheyenne Anderson
Joe Hunt
Camden Poland
Emma Gilreath
Sophie Combs
Two students in particular earned scores high enough to place them in what is called the "superior" category- Joe Hunt (twice with a piano and trumpet solo) and Camden Poland with a snare solo.
RCMS is very proud!! Way to go!!
