We were very excited to be able to host the Region 3 Solo & Ensemble Music Festival at the Mayville State Campus again this year. Twelve schools from the region participated, with approximately 450 students arriving on campus to perform! It was all made possible with the help of 18 community volunteers and the staff at Mayville State. Thank you to the community for your continued support of the arts!
May-Port CG school was well represented with 32 entries, 21 of which starred and will move on to the State Music Festival in Minot on May 6-7. Each of the 9 judges was allowed to award one Outstanding Performance for the day, and May-Port CG received 5 Outstanding Performance awards! Way to go, Patriots!
Ruth VanWechel and Joan Osland keep the festival running smoothly!
