    Hi Kate, Moussa, and BOE,  

     

    Below is a note from James about the north/south trio that was nominated for the MSBOA Outstanding Small Ensemble Competition based on their performance at state solo and ensemble. (A small number of top ensembles in the state are selected to record their piece for an additional state recognition.)

     

    Attached is their recording/submission. 

     

    A huge shoutout to James who helped with the recording. He has also been their trio coach for many years and has helped mold them into the musicians they are today.  

     

    Have a great weekend and enjoy listening to their beautiful music!
