| This weekend, (Feb. 6) the Wakeland HS Band students performed at the UIL Region 24 Solo and Ensemble Contest at Liberty HS.
Of 142 students performing, 100 received a First Division/Superior Rating on their solo and/or ensemble, and a record-setting 46 students qualified through to the UIL State Solo and Ensemble Contest held at UT-Austin in May (up from 32 last year).
The Solo and Ensemble First Division is the hardest of the 3 to earn (the other two are UIL Marching and UIL Concert and Sightreading), because these are student-led performances, so in all cases, the vast majority of the work is done by the student(s) in preparing their solo or ensemble to be adjudicated.
