Malta High School is proud to celebrate an incredible showing at the State Music Festival! 🎶
This year, we had 16 entries perform, with an outstanding 11 of those performances receiving Superior ratings (1) and 5 receiving Excellent ratings (2). At the State Music Festival, students that received Superior ratings (1) from District Music Festival perform their prepared solos and ensembles for a panel of judges, receive written and verbal feedback, and are scored on tone, technique, interpretation, and overall performance. It’s a rewarding opportunity for students to showcase their skills and represent their school at the highest level of music competition in the state.
Student solos and groups representing Malta High School at State included:
Lola Snell (vocal solo—Superior, flute solo—Superior), Cansaydee Kapp (vocal solo—Excellent, trumpet solo—Superior), Oslo Stenberg (sax solo—Superior), Olycee SaintLouis (tuba solo—Excellent), Harlee Goertz (vocal solo—Superior), Addison Arnold-Anderson (vocal solo—Superior), Sabra Sims (vocal solo—Superior), Charlee Anderson (piano solo—Superior), and Shelby Snellman (piano solo—Superior).
