Students whose solo or ensemble received a Superior rating at our District Solo and Ensemble evaluation were able to advance to the State event in Fort Myers. We had a huge representation at that event from JWMHS. It is very difficult to even advance to the State level so we are fortunate to have so many talented students.
A State Superior is the highest level of achievement for high school musicians in Florida.
