Black River Falls musicians and vocalists will compete in state solo ensemble competition on May 4 at UW-Eau Claire. Many of the students that made it to state seemed excited and ready to go.

“I’m excited and relieved that the first level of solo ensemble is done and I’m going to state,” said senior Camille Gunning. “Solo ensemble has been a lot of fun and hard work so far; with a lot of early morning practices.”

Gunning is only one of the students going to state. “When I get to state I’m really looking forward to getting to present our music at a higher level of competition,” said Gunning.

“I’m very excited to be going to state,” said sophomore Mary Onstad. “It’s exciting to know that with my own personal talent I’ve made it this far,” said Onstad.

“All season it has been fun, a little crazy but I loved it the whole time. I am however excited to be moving on from the normal competition and moving into state competition,” said Onstad.

Solo ensemble participants can present a variety of talents. Gunning is going with a team of handbells, Onstad is going with her own solo. Junior Paige Fisher is presenting a musical theater solo. All of the students going have done so through hard work.

“Going to state feels almost as if it is a normal competition, but I feel more accomplished,” said Fisher. “Solo ensemble so far has been really hectic with the musical I’m in and hard with the new choir director. But all-in-all it has been really good.”

Fisher is presenting a musical theater solo and is “very, very excited.”

“It really depends on your  schedule you have. I had the musical going along with solo ensemble, so it was difficult to juggle all of that, but like I said it really depends on your schedule and what you have going on. And even though it has been really busy it has been fun the entire time,” said Fisher.
