SOCCER UPDATE!! Girls JV soccer game in Grinnell is cancelled. Varsity Girls are still playing at 5 p.m. and Boys at 6:30 p.m.
This year the high school band sent 28 groups to perform at Solo and Ensemble Festival. The musicians receive ratings based on their performance with a division 1 being the best possible rating. Junior Brian Araiza received a division 1 rating for his trumpet solo while also earning a perfect score of 35/35 on his ballot. Brian also received the Best of Center award. This is awarded to one performer in each center. There were 47 performers in Brian's center.
Perhaps you saw a previous post of Joel Hacker receiving a Best of Center award for his vocal solo. There were 6 total centers at the festival and Benton students walked away with 2 of the best of center awards. Quite the rare accomplishment.
Congratulations to both Joel and Brian!
