    Last Saturday, twenty musicians of the Hobart High School Band participated at the State Solo &

    Ensemble Auditions at North Central High School in Indianapolis. The band had 8 solo entries and 18students participating in five different ensembles. At the high school, students playing solos are required to take private lessons and receive much help. The ensembles are student organized andstudent rehearsed, one person per part, putting the students in control of their own preparation. We are very proud of the Hobart Band!
