JV Girls Soccer game cancelled
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!
