Ten Hopkins Middle Schoolers join solo, ensemble fest

The Hopkins Middle School band sent 10 students to the Middle School Spring Solo and Ensemble at NorthPointe Christian School in Grand Rapids April 22.  Students performed either solos or duets in eight different events. All students were from the seventh or eighth grade band and had been preparing for the last several months. Participating members were Jarrett Fein, Evan Hoffer, Caleb Beilby, Max Landrigen, Alaina Schans, Liberty LaForest, Riley Stocking, Kara Noble, Riley Landrigen and Olivia Hazen. Students performed for a judge who specialized in their specific instrument and got feedback on how to improve as individual players and as members of ensembles.
