Congratulations to all the musicians who participated in the UIL Solo & Ensemble Contest on Saturday. 59 medals were awarded for individual performances, or solos, and 78 for small groups, or ensembles. Clear Lake HS Band brought home a total of 137 medals for getting ones, which is the highest rating possible. Great job to all!

Students will again perform their small ensembles at our Ensemble Recital Night on February 15. We will send out a schedule for that evening soon
