On March 7th, the Reavis Music Department both hosted and participated in the IHSA State Solo & Ensemble Festival. Over 1300 individual events performed at Reavis, many of which were Ram Musicians.
Individually, our students did tremendously! The Reavis CHORAL department was 18th in the entire state of all the AA schools participating, while OVERALL, the Reavis Music Department was also 18th! In BAND events, the Rams were 13th in the entire state!!! Also, in all three categories, the RAMS scored the most points of ANY school in the SSC!
Furthermore-two Reavis Musicians were selected as "Best-Of-Day" by their judges. Each judge sees about 45 events all day, and with music departments from so many local schools such as Oak Lawn, TF North/South, but also Providence Catholic, Whitney Young, Lincoln Park High School, Curie, and even the Chicago School for the Arts (ChiArts), the competition was incredibly stiff!!!! Junior Amanda Gilliland was chosen as best-of-day by her judge for her Piccolo Solo "Diary of a Songbird" by Gary Schocker, as was Senior Mezzo-Soprano Kayla Carson for her Vocal Solo, "How Could I Ever Know?" from the Secret Garden.
Directors from other schools also praised our students, parents, maintenance staff, and facilities for their professionalism and their running of the event. Thank you ALL so very much for your support and help in helping this event run smoothly!
